Hump Day Poll: Newsworthy?
source If that brings you warm fuzzies, you're welcome. If you don't know what the heck that's referring to, then you might be too young to understand most of my references here and should probably brush up ! We are going on year 9 of not having watched the news. I remember the last time we went to Kauai in 2016 (holy crap, that makes me want to cry) we didn't watch the news once and couldn't believe how much happier we were. We decided to see how long we could push it and here we are almost a decade later. It's enough to be inundated on internet sites on the hourly with the latest dumpster fire lit that should have nothing to do with the kind of stuff it's reporting but to voluntarily watch the news just is not something I have in me. I rarely watch live tv because of the commercials (well more commercials) but I left it on once a few years ago when a show I was watching went live and the news came on right after. I wasn't watchin...
It is definitely a first for us to do formal workouts on vacation and I am glad we did it. That first workout we did (upper body hybrid) really kicked butt too! We just have to figure out how to eat restaurant portions without undoing so much of our progress and then we'll have everything under control on vacation.
ReplyDeleteMe too. I wish I'd chosen a less kick butt workout to do the day before stand up paddle but yeah, glad we did it! :)
DeleteI always exercise on holiday! Always bring my running shoes wherever I go :) I don't feel like "me" when I don't run for a longer period of time.
ReplyDeleteGood job on staying active! :)
When I go on vacation it usually involves a lot of extra walking but no formal exercise sessions.
ReplyDeleteNo real fun plans for the weekend - but my folks have the little guy for a few days so I'll be tackling a room from Saturday until he gets back to do some serious deep cleaning and decluttering.
You both are so inspirational! I agree with the comments by the Mr about restaurant eating. It is so hard to not let vacation mode turn each meal into a "last supper" kind of thing. So fun to see your vacation posts be centered on active sight-seeing versus journey of your travels between meal times. I love food but your SUP experience is way more interesting to me!
ReplyDeleteI don't think i would ever get tired of hearing about your escapades! Glad you had such a great time!
ReplyDeletePlease keep the stories from Hawaii coming Anele. I'm vacationing there vicariously through you and the Mr......and LOVING it!
ReplyDeleteAny exercise I do on vacation is by way of recreation...hiking usually. We usually vacation to see family, so there is lots of visiting, but little exercise.
ReplyDeleteRestaurant-sized portions of food at any time hurt me if I finish them. I have learned to eat off the a la carte menu, get a senior portion, or share with my hubby. Of course, if we have a condo, I can always take half back to it for a second meal, which is what I do at home.
No plans for the weekend. Hubby has a car repair to do before we can register it, and I have a book on allergies to write, so we'll both be working all weekend.
I do exercise on vacation, but I don't log it. Vacation is computer-free time for me and I view any exercises I do as extra bonus and choose not to log the time. I bring my dvd's and resistance band along and then do long walks in the woods on the trails.
ReplyDeleteWeekend is pretty open. I had a meeting this morning, then just got home with meeting up with a friend I haven't seen in a long time. With be doing fun things with the dogs and just relaxing after some pretty stressful days at work. I think the hubs is going to go kayaking on Monday if the weather holds up.
Good for you! It is so hard to exercise on vacation! I normally run while on our family trips. I have also done some tabata or deck of cards in our hotel rooms :)
