I need to apologize for not getting in my entry yesterday. It seemed I was running all day. I'll give you the quick synopsis.... Smoothie for breakfast, brought my lunch, but then there was some fancy lunch at work. I had a full plate (albeit a smaller plastic one) w/ salmon, salad w/ Italian dressing, corn, small white roll, and amazing baby red potatoes. Someone brought me over a piece of cake. I planned on eating 3 bites, just to enjoy a little. Of course I lost all control and had the whole piece (at least it was fairly small). Oh, and I had a Sierra Mist to drink (believe it or not, a lot less sugar and calories than "fruit" juice). So, if that lunch were going to be my only downfall of the day, I could have lived with it. But, it wasn't.... We went to Buffalo Wild Wings after I got off work to see some basketball. I had a black bean burger w/ cheese...carrots and celery w/ lite ranch dressing, and then some of Brian's pita bread (which ended up being fried) w/ spinach/artichoke dip. I also enjoyed 2 "big" Seasonal Sam Adams beers, which knocked me on my ass.... From there we went to the local bar where I had 2 1/2 bottles of Coors Light. Man, I was smoked. There's a really funny story about later that night, but I try to only rate this website R for language and not sexual content. lol The one saving grace of the day was that I worked my ass off all day out in the warehouse. I know I burned some good calories. Not enough, but a good amount.
I had a little headache early this morning, but then I was able to get back to sleep. Thank God. This week knocked me on my ass. Once I got up (well, not really up, but a little active), I had an awesome phone conversation with one of my closest friends. She's one of those people that always makes me feel awesome about myself, and I always laugh my ass off when talking to her. It was a great start to my day. I did a little chores around the house and we got kind of a late start to the day, but it was a wonderful family day. The weather here has absolutely been stunning all week. Today was no exception. I think it was in the 80's. We took the boys for a walk down by the canal. They did so good. Usually there's a ton of bitching when we try to take them on walks. We had a great family talk about where we want to live, etc. today. It was great. After the walk, we took the boys swimming at the club. From there, we had dinner at Subway and then took the boys to Frozerts for dessert. I was really tempted, but I didn't get anything. Brian and me then got some grocery shopping done at Walmart. How's that for a Sat. night? Oh, how the mighty have fallen. But then again, who needs green beer? When I had the wonderful day that I had. Which is continuing now....as we just started watching Biggest Loser.
I hope you all are enjoying the heck out of your weekend!
