I lost weight on vacation! I was afraid I would have gained 5 to 7 pounds but no, I lost weight!
That really made me happy. I had worked my butt off hiking with my wife. We had one day where we hiked for 5 hours and 30 minutes. My body ached and I skipped some dumbbell weight workouts because I was not feeling up to it. I was worried and things turned out OK in the end, plus I had an amazing time.
Today was the first day back into the gym. In the morning after sleeping in I decided to do 30 minutes of cardio then 30 minutes of weight lifting since I had not done a real gym workout in a week. Here is what I did:
30 minutes on an elliptical trainer
squats
95-10
145-8
185-5 (not deep enough, but my knees were sore)

bench press
135-10
185-6,6
Hammer strength machine incline press
225- 5 sets of 1
hammer strength machine decline press
185-6
