Days 10, 11, 12 and 13: Readjusting

Crazy days! Here we are, back home in Austria! To say we have recovered from jet lag, readjusted to a new routine and picked back up into the Austrian way of life all while having successfully unpacked, washed the laundry and eaten three square meals a day would be, well...anything but accurate.

But I am proud to say that, for the most part, we managed to stick to our PiYo commitment, even squeezing in our Day 10 PiYo workout less than an hour before we left for the airport! Yes, after over twenty hours spent navigating airports, customs, skinny airplane corridors and wrangling two babies, I'll be the first to admit that my efforts for the Day 11 workout were anything but one-hundred percent but it got done! I definitely breathed a sigh of relief when I saw that July 12th was a rest day on the calendar, but here we are on the 13th and I can't wait to tackle today's routine!

Managing healthy eating while traveling isn't exactly easy...you take what you can get as far as airline food goes (although I will always recommend Lufthansa's service, extensive beverage selection and actually decent cuisine any day!), often coming away significantly dehydrated as well as hungry and exhausted...but you do your best, right?

I'm so glad I successfully packed the remainder of our Shakeology bag, too - yes, I know the name sounds presumptuous and cheesy but I'm honestly convinced it helped me with an energy boost the next morning as well as simplified the morning breakfast routine: all I needed to do was sleepily mix a scoop of powder with water into my mason jar, shake the heck out of it, and sip away. Hydration AND breakfast, all in one!

I'm savouring the relative peace and quiet of a Sunday afternoon, here,...both Kleiner Baer and Baby Tiger are (miraculously!) asleep at the same time, Papa is relaxing and I'm catching up on work. Now to finish up emails, read some messages and fit in our PiYo routine for the day!!

Enjoy your Sunday, everyone!
