Back from Vacation!

We got back last night from "Nanny Camp", and we had a great time!  It was so nice to see all of my cousins, all 13 of us were there.  It's been at least 5 years since we were all together!  We got several good family pictures.  :)

I did okay on my diet while we were there.  I succeeded in logging everything I ate on MFP.  I couldn't have done that without my app!  :)  I stayed in my calorie range every day except for yesterday.  Yesterday I went over by 400-500 or so calories.  :(  We were traveling and I snacked way too much.  I haven't stepped on the scale yet since being back.  I think I am going to wait until the end of this week - I am scared of what it may say!  Lol

I went kayaking for 2.5 hours on Friday with my Dad!  It was a lot of fun, and a good workout for my arms for sure!  I was pretty sore on Saturday.  I also went swimming in the lake, and did a few "laps" back and forth in the deep end of the beach.  I didn't even log that as exercise, but I am sure that burned several calories, since I'm not used to swimming at all!  Then on Saturday morning my cousin Kit and I got up early (8am!  haha) and went for a walk.  It was great to get time away with her and talk, and the added exercise was a bonus!  Saturday evening her and I went for a bike ride together around the campground - we would have gone further, but it was dark.  Then Sunday I didn't get in any real exercise.  Oh well...

This morning I was back to getting up early for a morning run!  I set my alarm for 5am, but when 5am rolled around there was no way I was getting out of bed.  I reset my alarm for 5:30.  When that went off I just decided to be lazy and reset it for 7am when I would need to get up for the kids.  In my sleep though I accidently set it for 6am, and when that went off I thought it was time to get up, so I did.  Once I was out of bed I realized it was an hour earlier than I had thought, so I decided I should make use of the time and go out.  I left the house at 6:15, and was back at 6:52.  I jogged almost a whole mile without stopping though! Way better than I thought I would do.  I only went 2 miles, because I knew I would have to be back in time to shower and get dressed for the kids.  Tomorrow morning I'll get up earlier, and go further.  :)  It felt good to be back in the swing of things!
