The holiday weekend flew by.  We went camping and had a pretty good time.  I have to say that after spending two weeks in Utah, my tolerance for cold weather has greatly diminished.  As soon as we got our campsite set up, Suzy and I headed out for a bike ride.  It was a great way to start off our weekend.

For some reason I thought it was a good idea to have smores on the campfire that evening.  I don’t even like smores, but when I get around a campfire it sounds like a good idea.  It wasn’t.  I had 2 of them and proceeded to get a violent stomach ache before going to bed. 

The next morning was pretty chilly.  I had planned on going for a swim but when I felt the water I decided against it.  Instead we went for a little walk.  Saturday was a pretty lazy day.  I felt like I ate too much but considering my past trips to the mountains I did pretty good.

The thing I noticed when I got home was how my lack of structure over the weekend affected me mentally.  I was a little growly and just didn’t feel like myself.  It seemed like because I wasn’t planning my days as I have been lately, that I felt like I could easily slip back into old habits.  I definitely don’t want to do that.

So today I am back at it.  Planned meals, planned workouts, and a planned schedule.  I feel better and more energetic.  For a guy who always thought of hiumself as just being able to “roll with it”, I am really liking this structure thing.  I feel more productive, I value myself more, and I especially am valuing my body and the way I treat it.
