It's one month into summer vacation and I'm still going to the gym 5 times a week. I've been doing Zumba 2-3 times/week and elliptical and strength 2-3 times. So far no huge results on the scale but I am seeing some NSV's (non-scale victories).

I started out barely able to do 8 minutes on the elliptical. Now I blast through 28 minutes easily, and can do 35 if that's what I'm doing for my main cardio that day.

I'm able to lift higher amounts of weight on the machines.

My pants are fitting a little looser around the waist. Not down a size yet, but at least it's progress. And I've noticed my butt and thighs are a little tighter than before.

I did get thrown off a little bit because we were in Hawaii for 2 weeks. I did get LOTS of exercise because we walked and swam like crazy. I did splurge on a bathing suit that was comfortable and that I didn't feel bad wearing in public. Sure, it wasn't a bikini - but it was an attractive suit that I liked enough to go swimming in every single day!

So now it's back to the grind - back on point tracking (kind of hard to do on vacation, although I did try to eat as many fruits and veggies as I could rather than junk), and I've already been back to the gym twice. Today was my day off, but tomorrow I'll be there bright and early.
