Day 16 - Didja miss me??

I'm baaaaaack! And I certainly missed you! I will make no excuses for the lack of posting while I was away (other than the lack of internet access for 90% of my trip). My journey involved a birthday jack-o-lantern, lots of incredible food, my sister's BEAUTIFUL wedding, meeting a ton of new people, and I managed one whole workout while I was gone. (But I buggered my knee, and took it as a sign from the universe that I was meant to kick back for a couple of weeks, and enjoy the beautiful scenery of autumn in Nova Scotia. So I did.)

Now I've been back on Vancouver Island for 45 hours, so naturally it's time to get my butt back in gear. This morning, I actually wished I suffered from jet lag, because in theory, 5am here should have felt like 9am to me with the time differences. Spoiler alert: it didn't.

*Alarm Clock* (yeah we're back to this) -- What the what? Why is there an alarm clock? Where the heck am I? What's going ON!?

At least I had the presence of mind to get most of my stuff together last night, because I had a feeling that it was going to be a little disorienting, trying to get going this morning. I was grateful for my forethought. Patting myself on the back.

I will admit that I had to take it a little easy this morning, because I'm really not sure what I did to my knee while on vacation, but it's still a little wonky, so I stuck with low impact versions of the exercises Chris laid out for us. Also - I discovered that although two weeks isn't long enough to feel like you're starting from scratch, it's definitely long enough for everything to go a little soft, which throws off your rhythm quite significantly.

I'm proud to say that I actually managed to LOSE a pound while I was away, even though the two weeks I was gone encompassed Thanksgiving, my birthday and a wedding - so a veritable cornucopia of food... so YAY! BUT... judging by the way my body responded this morning, I'm thinking that pound may have been muscle. Boo.

Proper measurements and weigh-in coming soon!

With the halfway point of this challenge looming at the end of this week, I've got my work cut out for me. Nothing super 'revelation-y' today - just wanted to get back and say hey! Hope you're still ready to follow along for another couple of weeks.

How was your Thanksgiving? Let me know! And welcome back to the page. :)
