back to the grind

Weight: 163.8
Yesterday Cardio: 0 Calories
Yesterday Food: 1230 Calories

Well back from my vacation and I really blew my diet, but it didn't set me back that far. I didn't count any calories or hold back that much, but we did cut back on the amount of desert we usually eat. I had a lot of pasta and some beers so I know that neither of those helped in any way. I weighed 165 yesterday morning, so it didn't take me that long to get back to my routine.

We actually worked out twice for 45 minutes each time in Boston. This is the first time I have ever worked out when on a vacation, but it is much less than I intended to work out. I really didn't want to work out the last day, but since I hauled gym shoes, shorts and shirts to work out in, it actually motivated me to go. The gym was not too bad there and have quite a bit of equipment, but I generally just focused on doing cardio.

So as far as I can tell I am winning the weight loss competition. I have lost 5.7% of my body weight and the next closest person is only at 4.5%. I am banking on the fact that most people won't be able to do this for the full 10 weeks and will be happy when they lose 10% of their body weight and move on the maintenance.

I didn't go to the gym yesterday because I was so tired from traveling. We left Boston around 6:30 EST and didn't land in colorado until 1:30 AM EST, so it was a very long trip back. We had a one hour layover through New York City and where very excited to go because they opened a new Jet Blue terminal at JFK. The terminal had a restaurant called Pommes Frittes, which is a place that sells great french fries in the village in manhattan. Well we got to the airport and the place had the same name but not the same fries so that was a big disappointment and a huge waste of calories.
