Thanks for joining me and Kim for the weekly run down. We had a little surprise extended vacation in Aruba due to the issue in Venezuela. We were completely safe the entire time. One day of air travel closing the entire Caribbean on a busy holiday weekend wreaked some havoc. We enjoyed a few extra days of island life.
Extended Vacation! Weekly Run Down
Sunday-full body strength + core + walking
We moved to a different hotel yesterday and I now have a small but much appreciated gym to use. I’ve been missing my strength workouts the last 2 weeks and it felt so good to get back to them. Other than that, it’s another beautiful day in paradise.
Monday-morning power walk + upper body strength + core
It’s a bit like Groundhog Day here! Now that I have gym access, I am perfectly find with a little extra island time.Feels great to be able to pick up heavy things again!
Tuesday-morning walk + lower body strength + core + stretch
Yes, I’m still in Aruba and enjoying our last day here (hopefully going home tomorrow). I took advantage of the gym to get in a good lower body strength and core before heading back out to the pool.
Gotta love how Peloton classes are always an option! I’m now on my 6th book of the trip!
Wednesday-morning walk + core and fly home!
I got in one more sunny morning walk in before finally heading back home. We all love it in Aruba but after 18 days I’m ready to come home.
Thursday-core + upper body + hike + walk
I was super happy to get a good nights sleep in my own bed! It was so great to get back to my home gym and my heavy weights. Spent the rest of the day doing laundry and grocery and errands and trying to figure out what day it was.
Friday-Peloton cycle + lower body strength + tread hike
It feels good to get back into my regular schedule again. Later, we watched our Indiana Hoosiers continue their winning streak and make it to the finals! Go Hoosiers!
Saturday-Tread Hiking Bootcamp + core
What a challenging combo of cardio and strength! I loved this hiking bootcamps that had alternating sets.
Happy new year to you all!
Welcome home! What a wonderful place to get “stuck” for a few extra days, but I’m sure you were thrilled to get home in your own bed. Your New Year’s card turned out great – so many happy memories on there!
What a great win for the Hoosiers!
Wow, what an extended vacation. indeed! I can’t believe how long you were there for – glad it all worked out and glad you’re finally home! sounds like you are already back in the swing of things. nice job!
I loved how you managed to make the most of your extra time in Aruba. The mix of walks, strength, and core sessions feels perfect.
Reading six books on the trip sounds so restful!
