Back from vacation - Status

Tonight we got back from 5 days vacation. Usually I gain weight while away from home and out of my normal routine, but this time however I did not. I think there is two main reasons for this.

First, I more or less "managed" to keep a low carb intake although I did have ice-cream with the kids at three occasions. Since both my wife and my sister in law (we went on vacation with her and her family) it was not hard to stick with it.

Second, we had quite an active 5 days with a lot of swimming with the kids as we spent two days in a water-park at Hovden and a lot of walking and activities in an amusement park, Mikkelparken, in Kinsarvik. We also spent half a day walking in the mountains with the kids.

Finally, the last evening I decided to get a real workout as well and I did a hard track up the slopes of Hovden ski resort. Starting at 795 meters above sea level and ending up at 1250 meters above sea level. The route I took went straight up a steep hillside and it took me 40 minutes to get to the top and then another 30 minutes back down so I got 70 minutes of exercise done.

This puts my total for the 30 days at 21 hours and 40 minutes which puts me way behind my goal of 30 hours. I will try to catch up the next couple of days but I doubt I will reach the goal. However, I am still happy with it considering we had 5 days of vacation within the 30 days.
