We spend most of our weekends at my sister in laws cottage in Hillsboro and this consists of drinking a lot of champagne and wine, eating a lot of snacks and meals, sitting around visiting, suntanning etc….I decided to take a bit of a different approach this year starting last weekend. I know that I am still going to eat the snacks and drink but I can modify it somewhat. So last weekend for every glass of champagne I had, I had a glass of water in between so that cut my drinking down in half. I tried not to sit myself right in the middle of the table where the snacks are kept and I definately helped myself to less than I normally would. It helps that my sister in law is in awesome shape so I sort of watch her and eat when she does - lol - she knows that I am really motivated and trying to eat well so she planned a nice healthy meal on the weekend which was great. And I cooked the other night and made grilled scallops, ribs (I don't eat ribs), a huge salad, a pasta salad and roasted asparagus. The other change I'm making is to not just sit on my ass all day long at the beach - to get up and move more. So this past weekend for the first time I went tubing behind the seadoo. I went with my son and we had a blast - I never do fun things like that.
I plan on doing much of the same this weekend. Lots of walks at the beach, lots of sea dooing. My workout pal/trainer Meaghan is home from 3 weeks away (I missed her like crazy) and we did a great workout today - 15 minutes on the cross trainer and then a pretty intense back and chest workout. I got 18.000 steps on my fitbit yesterday which was awesome for me. So I feel like I'm back in the game.
Here's to a great weekend of nice weather, great eats and tons of movement.
