Sitting for long periods of time, not drinking enough water, eating what you can when you have the time, adds up. For some, this is a lifestyle. I've only been here 2 days and can see the long-term challenges. Either way, for me or the novice, taking care of yourself and sticking to a healthy eating plan and regular exercise program is your responsibility. It's your choice.
For me, I stretched and strolled along the Riverwalk the day I arrived.
Check out this awesome bench along the Riverwalk. I envisioned myself doing my Turbulence Training bodyweight PARK bench workout... spiderman push-ups, bulgarians, step ups, seated tucks... but not today, just a stroll.
I got up early Wednesday morning and hit the hotel gym for a Turbulence training workout before attending an 8-hour workshop. I remember gym set-ups that looked like this back
in the 80s!
Located in the dungeon of the hotel, the 'fitness center' wasn't glamorous but it had the essentials, but no shoulder stuff :(
I quickly got into my groove, sweated, got the creative juices flowing and felt great. Laughing, I knew I'd be back down here. The best thing: free bottled water!
Thursday, I got up early for a long day of seminars. In the evening, I had a 3-hour window of opportunity before the Welcome Reception. During that break, I registered for my first semester graduate classes before doing 30 minutes of cardio to break a sweat and release endorphins so I can maintain my positive outlook!
It worked! I had a great time networking at the party and am looking forward to another long, productive day tomorrow. I think I will pass on the 6:30 am ChiQuong exercises and do a hotel Turbulence Training session before heading to seminars @ 8:30. Hey, I'm disciplined but I" m also on vacation!
Kelly Says Do This: stick to your program. Health and vitality is what makes you YOU. Get into your routine and stick with it. Peer pressure isn't worth it!
