September 2012 Update

September was a pretty typical month. However, I had to cut it short. Nick and I left for a week-long vacation on the evening of September 28th. So, my final weigh-in for September was my Friday morning weigh-in on the 28th. October numbers will include the 29th and 30th of September (and (gulp) our whole vacation).

As far as vacation is concerned I try and be smart without dwelling. I, of course, want to enjoy the food of the places we're visiting and have a couple of drinks. But, I also don't want to get back and have lost weeks of work for temporary pleasure. When I can I make smart choices and enjoy in moderation. I also keep up my cardio workouts. This vacation is nice too because we are basically walking everywhere, that added activity helps the undoubted increase in calorie intake. I also still keep up with my food journal (however, Nick said I couldn't count the Mt. Vesuvius ice cream sundae we split last night because I might try and run 43 miles today).

See, even Adam on Man vs. Food had to try Mt. Vesuvius at The Franklin Fountain (http://www.travelchannel.com/tv-shows/man-v-food/episodes/philadelphia-2). We highly recommend trying this amazingness however, SHARE with 4 other people if to can :). Today, we will probably hit up Jim's Steaks so Nick can get his authentic Philly Cheesesteak (also visited by Adam).

But back to the month at hand, all in all September was a win. I ran 2 5k's and lost some pounds. As of the last day weighed I'm 16.2lbs from goal and its getting hard to lose. I have to fight for every pound lost but I will finish this battle.
