Day 15 Sunday July 17th, 2016    There is hope for me yet!

DAY OFF! I woke up at 630 am so I got up at 7.  Movara has an omlette bar on Sunday mornings, so Chef Sam made me a wonderful creation! 

Notice the balance!  1/2 whole grain English muffin ( with a smear of unsalted butter), egg white and egg omlette  - whole egg and egg white -cooked in grapeseed oil spray,  loaded with veggies and a touch of feta cheese ( not my favorite but hey, why not try), Scoop of avocado ( healthy fat -   fat burns fat!) and fruit.  So delicious and filling

WHAT TO DO, WHAT TO DO?  It just felt so strange to be sitting and doing nothing.  So I went on an amazing bikeride through lava fields and with the Red Mountains in the background.  Fun explorations - I was looking for flat easy - ha ha ha ha! That doesn't exist here.  I did not have to get out of bed, I did not have to exercise but I CHOSE TO!  Get a great start to the day and enjoy some time doing what I love doing - biking.  So hopefully there is hope for me yet! I will continue to get it done at home.  Utilize the morning time, no excuses - get your exercise done, have your menu prepped and planned so that excuses don't get in the way!

This both  excites me and scares me.  Fun ride down but what goes down must go back up.... LOL

I went shopping to the big Walmart, picked up a cooler  and icepacks so I can have healthy food for my trip home.  Went back to Movara for an amazing lunch - Sliced turkey sandwich and Yam Fries! 

The rest of the afternoon was floating in the pool reading a book and watching the masses roll in.  It was crazy - they are over capacity for this coming up week - by a lot! So it will be very busy  and cramped and not fun - but I will do my own thing and just continue to get it done. It looks like there are more fit people here this week  ( but I know don't judge a book by it's cover) so if i'm in the fast hiking group it will be a challenge and hopefully I can figure out something for my darn blister!  Looking forward to another great week ahead!

I fogot I did my weigh in on Saturday morning.  I lost 5 lbs this week!!!!!  So a total of 14 lbs so far.  Which averages out to a lb a day.  I am only expecting 5 lbs this week again, i'll try my best but it really doesn't matter.  Things like getting out of bed this am, going for a bike ride, Choosing healthy snacks ( I had almonds in my purse & ordered water while I was out last night) will be what will help me to continue this journey at home.  Good habits and having the mind in the game!
