Travel Day! Wow this day sucked for exercise. We packed up and headed home from the Smoky mountains in North Carolina. It took 1 hour and 45 minutes from the time we woke up to be loaded and on our way out of town. The positie thing about loading the truck was the numerous trips up and down the stairs to get to the cabin. From the parkng spot you meeded to hike up some stairs to get to the from door of the cabin. The first few were not to bad but after a while carrying bags and other stuff tires you out. The finalle of packing up was loading the motorcycle onto the hitch mounted carrier in the dark with only a flashlight. We started packing at 4am this morning when we got up. We did not get home until after 5 pm and then had to unload the truck.
Along the way we stopped at many rest stops for bathroom breaks and to stretch our legs. We also stopped for breakfast at a Cracker barrel and had tuna sandwiches that we packed our selves. We had fruit and some granola bars along the way and drank plenty of water (and COFFEE!) Being we were tired we had subway sandwiches for dinner. The day would have been fine if we had done a hike of 1-2 hours, but sitting in the car for 10 hours was not productve for weight loss. Tomorrow is judgement day. I will see what I had done to myself. The scale does not lie. I think I gained 5-7 pounds. I hope I stayed the same or lost weight but I missed doing my normal weight workouts this week. I tried with dunbbells to keep it going but in the end I was not able to maintain my lifting as I needed to. Some days activities took too much out of my to lift. I guess in a way that was over training.
