Get off your Butt Sara Marie...

Ok so along the lines of "I'm back from vacation, so I need to get back on track..." so does my workout plan...

Now I have good news on this front, and I have bad news....

The bad news first... my chest is still hurt. I still have some swelling on the sternum, and pain if I do pretty much anything with the upper body or long distance running. Thus, no marathon training at this point. I might try and do half of a marathon training in another month or so, and still run in Miami in December, but I definitely won't be making the October marathon. Oh well. I tired.

The good news is..... on vacation we did a respectable amount of exercise including running on the beach, working out at the fitness center, and trying a yoga class.

Also on vacation food and drinks were kept inexpensive and healthy when McGruber and I split everything. Well maybe not the drinks, but any breakfast, dinner, desserts, snacks even that were ordered we split. That keeps calorie counts lower and makes every meal really cheap! It was one of our best decisions.

Anyway that plan, and the fact that Costa Rica menus are full of fruits and veggies, have kept me in good shape considering I was off the usual grind for a solid 8 or 9 days.

Tonight that ends though. Tonight we are back on the grind. I'm talking lots of lower body work, core and elliptical!

So here's to getting off your butt and doing something.... and a few quotes in case my blog post alone is not enough motivation for you to do the same...

"You have to commit to be fit. Where did doing nothing ever get you?"

"You'll never get the butt you want, by sitting on the one you have."

"Don't reward yourself with food; you're not a dog."

"Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels."

Ok now if you are not motivated, I'm not sure I'll get ya there, so good luck!
