To Disney And Back

HEY GUYS

I am back from Disney World. It was great fun but I was ready to come home. I maintained my daily workout routines while gone, thus I didn’t worry too much about eating while there. I am sure that some days I walked as much as 7 miles while going around the different parks.

Food was one of the main focuses while we were in Florida. We purchased the Disney Dining Plan, it was great you are able to get a counter service meal a snack and a sit down dinner everyday, and it is more food than a person can eat; it gives one the flexibility to try new foods in the different restaurants. I ate escargot for the first time in my life, the sauce was better than the snails which were ok. I do like seared tuna that was a pleasant surprise. The great thing was the fact most of it was not buffet style meals, you had a portion and that was all. I am pleased to say that I didn’t overindulge to the point of making myself feel badly. Food however, will always be an obstacle for me in my journey to fitness.

When we arrived back in Virginia home from Disney, it was back to the business of a Healthy lifestyle. I did a three day semi-fast consisting of zone protein drinks water and green tea , after the third day I went back to a good balanced 40 30 30 meal plan. I got on the scales one week upon arriving home and was back at my pre-vacation weight of 200 pounds. I was pleased with this. Now I have kicked my workouts up another level and my body is craving more fuel, I am being very careful with this. I do not intend to overfeed myself, I now have to determine the caloric needs that my body requires the more intense exercise. I think when the Million Dollar Body E-Commerce Store opens; I will invest in a heart rate monitor to determine my caloric burn for my workouts. I am very excited that I am at the point in my journey where toning and building lean muscle mass is more important than losing weight, I am going to close now but will return again soon you all have a great day and good luck to all of you in your journey to good health and well being , if I can help anybody just email me at train6080@yahoo.com

Cya soon
