I just realized that it has been close to two weeks since my last post.

I had originally planned to write an update while in Ohio, but it was a crazy, hectic, trip and I just really didn't think about it.

I made some crazy realizations while home. First of all, I realized that it is no use planning my diet and exercise while in Ohio. It just never works out the way I want it to.

More importantly, I realized that eating Non-Vegan foods does not agree with my body.

The first night home, my mom excitedly told me that she had been marinating steaks since the day before. So, I hesitantly decided it would be okay to eat one. I also added a little butter to my baked potato, and had a glass of milk with my dessert (blueberry pie).

Let's just say, woke up at 2 am, and spent the next thirty minutes with my head in the toilet.

So not worth it!

I ate an abundance of sugar while at home too. Between Colt's birthday party, and my early birthday celebration, there was enough cake to feed a third world country.

Needless to say I felt pretty gross.

Exercise was pretty lacking too. I had planned some pretty tough workouts, as an attempt to offset the bad eating I knew I might do. In reality the only real exercise that I got was a couple of walks with my mom.

So, I bet you can guess that the scale wasn't happy.

But, I didn't gain too much, and I already have more than half of it off. (Water weight)

So, even though I wish I could have been healthier, it didn't turn out too badly.

We came home on Tuesday evening, so Wednesday I was ready to get back in the gym.  I didn't have my own workout plan ready so I opted to go to a basic step class, and I added a set or risers to make the workout a little more intense.

Thursday, I did a really effective CrossFit workout. It was five rounds of 100 jump ropes ,and 15 overhead squats. My legs and abs are still really sore.

This morning I'm getting ready to head to the gym to take a Kickboxing boot camp class, and if I'm not too tired I will do Pilates afterwards.

I'm really excited to see where I can take my body this month. Going home was a great reminder of how far I've come! I got such a positive response from my family and friends, so I want to make sure I look and feel even better when I go home in July!
