Uffda!

Boy, am I tired. I took a little road trip with a couple friends on Monday and got back late last night. One of these friends is on a bit of a health kick lately, and she basically acted as my personal trainer! We went for a run Monday night (one of my best runs so far!), did Jillian Michaels' 30 Day Shred on Tuesday and danced around the living to the oldies on Wednesday. Overall a good few days.

A pitfall of the road trip is the road trip diet. Fast food, large meals, and lots of pop. Luckily, we stayed with a friend and were able to have a few home-cooked meals. At every sit-down meal, my healthy-crazed (I say it with love) friend and I vied to split an entree. For every ounce of soda or coffee I drank, I tried to drink two ounces of water. We were so busy with different things that we didn't have many opportunities to snack. So overall, I don't feel as though my diet was ruined, or my training was thrown off.

A perk of the road trip--shopping! This trip was especially exciting because I have dropped two jean sizes and one shirt size since I last went shopping (yay)! There's really nothing quite like pulling something off the rack, thinking it won't work on you, and having it fit like a glove! My shopping experience usually consists of falling madly in love with something on the hanger only only to have it stuck on my love-handles when I try it on. It usually leads to disappointment.

Anyway, the trip was fun. But now I'm exhausted. I'll go for a run today, then taking a nap and just hanging out. And tomorrow, another road trip! hmm...Maybe I'll take the nap first...
