Family Hike Saturday/ My Poor Thighs

For the last couple of months my family and I have gotten into hiking and try to go out every weekend if we can. Living in Florida, we have seen a few really beautiful and awesome places and have so many more planned. The kids have a blast and get worn out (always a plus). I suspect that my husband only tolerates these trips to keep me happy but I'll take it. Being a huge nerd family who partake in a lot of video gaming, computer time and Netflix binging, we definitely needed something that gets us moving together.

Today it was super drizzly and foggy so we went right next door to Kathryn Abby Hannah Park and did their trails, let the kids hit up the playground and ended up at the beach. The little one likes to walk most of it so it's not a big cardio workout but we put in about 3 miles today and the terrain makes it interesting for the thighs.

I skipped the gym since we had a full day but as I was sitting here after dinner it hit me that I didn't do my Bikini Body Mommy workout. 9pm, just finished up Game of Thrones (</3), husband was giving the little a bath, what I really wanted to do was lie on this couch for the rest of the night and do my Facebook/TV/Instagram binge. But fuck it, it's only like 15 mins, I got up and did it. Day 6 done, 84 more to go and you know, despite being tired I managed to do more of each exercise than last time, even if a couple of them were only one more rep, that's one better than before and I'll take it. And it didn't take away from the fact that I'm still gonna lie here and get my screen time in, just a little more sore and an extra bottle of water downed, not a bad way to spend 15 minutes.

So I'm probably not going to be posting every day, which I'm sure you're grateful. Or maybe I will more than I think, I don't know. I'm going to post when I need to post be it once a day or once a week. But when I end these I'll try to always list a few accomplishments, fallbacks, and how my body is feeling.

Accomplishments: Other than  that awesome 5k I posted about yesterday, in the last 2 days I've managed to not eat a single fry out of my kids small fries treat, and tonight I made pasta for the rest of the family and stuck with just alfredo chicken and tomatoes, pasta free (I'm not going crazy low keto carb free but am trying to cut back). And I'm not feeling bummed about it! My chicken was awesome.

Cravings: Sherbert ice cream. Like, feeling like a meth head needing a fix, would sell small body part for big tub of rainbow sherbert. If there was a store open that carried it within 10mins from home I'd have some, too, no shame. But sadly, there isn't. If I'm still craving it tomorrow I'm getting some because I'm not going to deny myself, just going to make it fit into my calories/macros for the day, and eat a small bowl vs the whole tub. Hopefully.

My thighs HURT. My back muscles HURT. I'm so ready for rest day tomorrow.
