Seriously, let's be honest, I love vacations. I love beaches. I love rivers. I love hotels. Get me out of my routine and I'm a new person. I'm relaxed. And then I sort of get lax on some of my health commitments. I was surprised that I was able to stick to being healthy on my vacation. I still work up early on Saturday and worked out in the hotel gym. I looked at the menus of the restaurants we were going to. We walked around STL instead of driving. We walked up stairs instead of the elevator. I enjoyed my food in good bites. I didn't track everything I ate. I tried not to feel guilty and I feel like I was able to capture part of the purpose of the challenge for me....enjoy the very moment that I am in. I listened to my body and heard it talk to me quite often.
I was in tears during some of Jill Scott's songs. I watched this woman with beautiful natural hair and some amazing curves and she was thrilled to be alive. I want to be thrilled to be alive...on the weekends and the weekdays. I need to marry the best parts of my weekends and my weekdays...relax, grace + listening to my body and watching what I eat/don't eat and figure out why.
