Whining on the road....

So sorry it has been so long since I have posted! I just got back last week from a missions trip to Honduras! What a neat experience that ended way to quickly!!!

One thing that I have noticed is that when people travel for vacation or business or whatever reason they travel, they want to put healthy choices and exercise to the side. I have done that myself! Then when you get back from your trip, you seem to get upset that you have gained weight! I have done that time and time again!!!

This last trip really showed me that I can splurge every now and then for a special treat, but then I have to be willing to make the effort to squeeze in a little more exercise or make better choices after that to compensate! I did that this trip and it really paid off! So I'm excited for the next trip so that I can do the same thing once again!!!

A few things that I did this last trip, was to make sure that I had my daily amount of water before dinner time, when I had time for the pool, I made sure I did some exercises and swam along with the chatting with friends. The fun thing was the friends I was with, we would all come up with different exercises for each other to do!

A fun app that I have now added to my phone is RunKeeper. It is a free app for Iphone and I'm sure others. It will keep track of various activities (running, jogging, walking, cycling etc..) it will keep your time, and your pace (minutes/miles), it lets you use your music from your Ipod as well...so it made for a great workout this morning!!!!

Hope you have a great day and remember to Keep on Keeping on!!
