I'm nearing the end of my spa week time, and it's been a really wonderful 4.5 days here at home. I didn't accomplish all of my spa week goals, but here is a rundown of what did and didn't work.
I DID exercise daily, hard enough that I've been sore the whole time.
I DID NOT exercise as long each day as I'd hoped. I didn't add walks in on top of my harder workouts.
I DID eat vegan the whole time...
EXCEPT for all the freakin' candy I couldn't resist after my department's Christmas festivities. I had probably about 10 Andes mints, 2 Lindt truffles, and 2 peanut butter cookies. But overall, I'm VERY happy with the vegan-ness of my diet the last few days.
I DID track my nutrition on myfitnesspal...
My calorie counts were good EXCEPT for the day I binged on hummus and triscuits. Those dill triscuits are to-die-for! I need to stop buying them!
I DID avoid alcohol the whole time...
No buts about this one.
I DID turn off the TV...
EXCEPT for going to see the Hobbit, Red Dawn, and watching the Cowboys game Sunday. :-/ But really, the intention behind that goal was that I wouldn't sit and watch 5 seasons of a TV show on Netflix the whole time, so OK. And the Cowboys won!
I DID stay off Facebook...
No, that's a total lie.
I DID get a lot of cleaning done...
I even cleaned my carpets today. And repurposed my snuggie as a tacky tree skirt. Guess I should get rid of those halloween cobwebs from the blinds for the full Christmas effect...oops. #shortroommates or #lazyroommates or #asunobservantasmeroommates. ;) Probably the latter.
I DID think up ways to maintain the diet and exercise.
Mostly, I thought back to my overplanning of grocery shopping days. I had lists of ingredients in Excel for all my favorite meals, so when I made a grocery list, I could just copy and paste each meal from the spreadsheet. The problem is now, I'm mostly only cooking for one, so I can't just cut/paste ingredients. I also need to scale back some of those recipes, too.
Exercise, I haven't come up with anything new. I am making a list to put by my bedroom door, "All the things you probably did to waste 30 minutes today." I hope that helps me decide to spend 30 minutes doing something VERY useful. It will also help me if I keep my room clean, because then my workout space is ready to go. But laundry just takes over!
I WILL post about what I've been eating. It's been tasty.
BUT I won't do it now. :)
