I ate like a king the entire time and drank like Hemingway. I got to know members of my family that I wasn't super close with, took my 20 year old cousin to a drag show and did shots of whipped cream and cotton candy flavored vodkas, and went snorkeling in the ocean and aagh a fish touched me I don't like it.
I was only supposed to be gone Thursday - Tuesday but then I stayed an extra day with my family in Phoenix because our plane got in a lot later than I originally thought. I went to a bunch of stores out there but found no running tights that were affordable. I fell in love with a lot of stuff out of my price range, though! Here's looking at you, Lululemon.
Anyway, then I spent the whole rest of this week being lazy and not running or biking until today when I said "No seriously you can't just stop because there's only a few days between now and Thanksgiving" (where I will be going back to Phoenix to help cook/help my grandma move/eat like a king/drink a lot).
Then today I got all geared up to go on a run before work and walked by my bike and went "IT'S BIKE TIME!!!" and rode my bike for a bit. My mom gave me some of her padded bike shorts that she doesn't use anymore and they are really nice. I only almost got killed twice!! I even chose a road that didn't have a bike lane and was poorly maintained and it wasn't terrible at all (except for the bus that kept trying to pull into the side of me but that's okay).
So that ride was 5.38 miles according to Garmin. The ride to my work is approximately 5.5 miles according to mapmyrun, so it's looking like it won't be very difficult. I'm really excited! I might even try riding in on Monday. One of the roads I rode back on was the one I will be taking into work and the bike lane is HUGE and roomy and ~luxurious~ so that's a bonus.
Today's weight was 152.4 so that's not so bad especially given how much I ate on vacation.
I made a bet with my dad for a large sum of money (to be used for new clothes) that I couldn't be down to my goal weight (145) before our Christmas trip to Vegas, so I think after Thanksgiving I'm going to crash diet (PSMF) my way to financial gain. From what I've looked at in Rapid Fat Loss it's not all that different from the way I was eating on the HCG diet, but with generally more food (unlimited vegetables). I don't mind doing that again so long as I know it's not going to be for 3 months or whatever. I will probably have to scale back somewhat on my cardio or just expect to be bad at it for a while but I think that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make given the stakes.
