Home again, home again...

Well, we ended up extending our camping trip an extra day, so here it is Sunday night and we just got home! The trip was good. Hard to count calories, didn't get nearly enough water I'm sure, but overall I tried to be moderate and we even got a little hike or two in. And some kayaking, but Ellie was in my boat and ended up falling asleep on my arm (rendering me unable to paddle!) so Leif had to tow us around the lake instead. Guess I can't count that as a workout, huh? But it was good.

I weighed myself this evening when we came home. End of the day, but I figured I'd give it a go so I had some idea of what to expect tomorrow. The scale said 117.4, so we'll see if it goes down in the morning! That would be great! I would still love to see something in the 116 range, but we'll have to take it as it comes. I'm home again, so calorie counting should be a little easier.

Camping....

Back down to 118.0 today, but I didn't have enough water again yesterday. I don't know why I struggle with it so, but I do.

We're going camping for the next two nights, which means camping food. I tried not to pack anything too bad, but it's hard to measure portions, and we end up doing a lot of pasta between mac and cheese and noodles with parmesan sauce... I'm going to try to make it through the trip without eating too much, but I won't be recording either (no internet! will I survive?? LOL!) so it's just up to my internal moderator, which seems to be broken most of the time. So you can pray for me! It's supposed to be hot, and we're bringing the kayaks, so I'm hoping we get to kayak a fair bit around the lake. It's not a lot of exercise, but it is something, and it will work my abs and upper body which don't get a lot of exercise usually, so it'll be a nice change.

So... I'll be absent for a few days, and we'll see what the scale says when I return. Hopefully I will be down to at least 116.8 so I don't have as far to go to meet my Monday goal of 116.4! I just need to drink LOTS of water!

off on a camping trip...

I'm hoping there will be a hike or two involved in this little overnight adventure, but I don't know that we have one planned. It sort of depends on cranky pants, who decided to take a nap today (early enough that I let her) and woke up in a grumpy, grumpy mood. I'm hoping she gets over it soon, because camping with a grumpster might not be very fun!
