On the Road

I am sure that you have been dying for me to write about the boring adventures of Carey, so I will give into you, and write a blog.

We have been spending a lot of time on the road. We went down to Long Beach, then up to S. San Francisco, then down to San Diego, back to Long Beach and finally home in a little over a week. What can I say? We are busy kids, with places to go and people to see.

What does this have to do with fitness and health you ask? Well, when you're on the road a lot and sleeping on other peoples' couches your drive to workout diminishes. You are also eating pretty much any food available. So I haven't worked out in a week and a half, and have been eating far too many meals that include french fries on the side. Now that I am home, I feel motivated to get back to the gym and start choosing better foods. I am not beating myself up about it at all.

I guess my whole point behind this blog is that too many of us kick ourselves for missing workouts, or eating poorly for a couple days which puts us in a workout coma. We are so devastated that we can't eat right and we are too depressed to go to the gym. We all have our bad days.

In good news, I took my wedding dress into get altered this past week. I mistakenly bought it last November, and then lost weight from March - May. Needless to say I can wear my wedding dress over clothes at this point. Which could possibly be a selling point if I wanted to make a quick getaway. :) Just kidding. They took several inches in on both sides. Woot woot. Now, come on, that's something to be really proud of. The lady that was altering it even said "Wow, you lost a lot of weight since then, congratulations!"

For your viewing pleasure (because as a photographer I believe that blogs are better with pictures) here is a picture of me in a dress (this is not the one I chose) back in November and a picture from 4th of July!
