I arrived back in Denmark yesterday and it’s freezing. At least Nice sent me away with a tan that, if I keep moisturized, should last long enough to keep the memory of sun on my face close.
I’m not gonna lie and tell you guys I worked out every day, and I’m definitely not going to tell you I kept the wine and cheese to a minimum. I wasn’t a total lazy blob though.
I didn’t eat a crazy amount of food while I was on vacation, but as the 2 weeks progressed, there was a noticeable difference in the amount of “caring” that went into food choices. The first week started off with making salads and bringing them to the beach, but the second week replaced them with beer and grocery store sandwiches.

I didn’t do any exercise in Paris, but I was walking at least a couple hours a day. In Nice I did something almost every day for the first week then it petered off into sporadic, “if I don’t do it now, I won’t do it” bursts of energy. I think that, plus walking and swimming has resulted in my skinny jeans still being able to do-up – to my surprise!
Here are the workouts I did. Some of which had to be done in a tiny corner of our apartment!
{Jogging}
{Keaira Lashae Tabata}
{Standing Pilates}
{And… DUH… freestyle dancing!}
To sum it all up:
+ Jogging
+ Keaira Lashae’s Tabata workout <— one of my faves! Read more about Keaira here.
+ Crunch standing Pilates. This one & this one. (I didn’t do the floor work). Please let me know if you also died laughing over the bongo player.
+ Dancing.
+ The Daisy Duke workout. I managed to do one set of this with water bottles. I still broke a sweat though!
What do you do to not feel totally gross after a vacation?
