Because I was on holiday and didn't have access to the gym, I've decided to track my exercise by counting steps using my Fitbit. However, I feel that these numbers below don't do the physical exertion justice, as we were at 3500m above sea level and the air is literally thin. Imagine hiking! So with that in mind, below is my accountability report:
- Mexico City day tour 11,126 steps (at sea level)
- Cusco city tour 14,000 steps
- Sacred Valley tour 14,719 steps
- Machu Picchu 20,134 steps
- South Valley tour 16,340 steps
- Consistently followed intermittent fasting diet for 3 days (Very hard to decline breakfast buffet and scheduled meals during flights...)
- Personal milestone: I was able to climb up steep stairs/terrain at high altitude. I was a little puffed, but I wasn't puffed out--and it only took 1~2 minutes of rest for me to recover to resting heart/respiratory rate. All the training has paid off!
- Personal realization: I am very sensitive to racism. I didn't think I would be, but I am. During this trip there were times that I felt discriminated against; it takes all the positive thinking I have to not let it ruin my day nor turn to reverse-racism. I will go into more details in another blog post.
- What I can improve on: drinking less alcohol (something I neglected while on holiday), doing more yoga and stretching (I really haven't been doing this at all during this trip), studying more and procrastinating less (to make up for all the time lost). And spend less money!
