Hey loves!! I’m back from my trip to Italy and ready to get back to the swing of things with the blog 🙂 Thanks for your patience while I was away…I generally like to try to write and pre-plan posts for when I’m gone, but I have been so swamped with things lately I just didn’t have time. That being said, I have a pretty big announcement coming this week that I’m excited to share with you!! Stay tuned! I’m also going to be writing full travel recap posts of our time in Italy, as well as our complete itinerary, so those are also upcoming.
While in Italy, I didn’t workout one single time. We were gone for 12 days and I did not do one single “workout”. As I mentioned before I left, our trip was once in a lifetime and I didn’t want to waste any time because I felt like I needed to workout. Generally speaking I think working out on vacation is a great thing, but in this case for me, I just didn’t feel like it was a good use of my time and anytime you feel like you *have* to do something, I don’t think that’s necessarily the healthiest outlook. If you’re consistently working out and eating right, you should never feel like your world is going to come apart if you don’t workout for a few days. Or 12 😉
That being said…we did walk everyday. A lot. Like I think one day in Rome I had over 26,000 steps. Most every day we broke 20k, and our last weekend we did a 4 mile hike on Path of the Gods that overlooks Positano and the Amalfi Coast. So while I didn’t “workout”…I was still active. And had plenty of energy from all the carbs we were eating. Y’all, my diet straight up consisted of croissants & nutella for breakfast, pizza and/or pasta for lunch and/or dinner, and gelato & wine scattered throughout the day at random times. If that’s not balance I don’t know what is 😉
But more on my Italy trip later.
