My Vacation (From Treadmill Desk Blogging)

Share on Twitter

(Today’s Weight: 213, Miles Walked: 141)

My wife and I returned from a great vacation to Los Angeles on Saturday, and we had an absolutely fantastic time. I’d never been to the city, and she hadn’t been there since she was a kid at DisneyLand. We visited friends, ate a lot of great meals, saw some cool sights and crazy people, and stayed on a 63′ yacht in Marina Del Rey. Overall, it was a blast, and I was a little leary of coming back to the real world (and continue treadmill desk blogging and walking)…

But, good things never last forever, so it’s time to get back at it. I intended to post earlier this week, but I have been pretty busy with work, so it kept getting pushed back. But, I’ve got some great pictures to post from the trip that hopefully you’ll enjoy.

Here are pictures from the vacation, and a few things for which I’m eternally thankful.

That’s just a few of the great memories from last week. It was completely worth needing to walk a few more miles on the treadmill desk while blogging. :-)

I was a little disappointed when I stepped on the scale Monday and it read 216. That meant I had gained almost 5 pounds on vacation, but it was sort of expected. Luckily, today’s weigh-in was much better at 213. Of course, tomorrow is Thanksgiving, so there will be a little more fluctuation after gorging on delicious turkey.

So, what are you thankful for? Leave me a comment below!

    I'm "Planning" on waking up early and training again for the next mini… I say "planning' because 5:30 is REALLY early. If only I could have a treadmill in my office at the hospital…. :)

      Ick, 5:30? The only time I'm up that early is if I haven't gone to sleep yet… Yeah, you need a walking desk in your office. :)
