Ok, I know I need help this weekend...

The scale hasn't gone down yet this month and the month is coming fast to an end...

I need to be accountable this weekend...

Cool Another 8 lbs for me . . .

. . .and ice cream season is about to start . I heard the tinkling of the truck somewhere in the neighbourhood today.

I'm having take out tonite but it's Armenian food and I'm sticking to salads, grilled meat, and 1/2 of a pita. That shouldn't cause a lot of damage.

Taking the "big dog" out for a walk this evening too - 30 minutes .

And I'm right on track with my new workouts /yoga.

Ok...I'm ready for the weekend! I've already had my 3 glasses of wine for the week so NO BOOZE for the next 3 days.

Sending out some for the Weekend Warriors!

hubby works in the restuarant business so weekends aren't that different for me...but I managed a pretty good weight workout today before I headed off to a Tastefully Simple party where I did NOT behave!! Drinks and snacks but it really took place of my dinner so hopefully it won't hurt me too bad.

I've got 10mi on the schedule for tomorrow. I really hope I won't be resigned to the treadmill but that depends on dh...

Thumbs up Resisted "weekend whoopee"

Friday night and DH and I were watching Battlestar Galactica. I'm not as invested in the series as he is but am keeping him company through it's last season.

I really wanted to eat to stay awake and fend off boredom (5 minutes of a baby crying don't make for exciting viewing for me).

Had some grapes, instead of all the starchy carby things my brain told me I wanted. And I weigh 132 this morning!!

I really want to see that number on the scale on Monday so I'm SO motivated to stay OP.

I'm sorta keeping a short term goal of under 130 in view for the first week of May.

Morning!
This weekend could be 'all about health'! Dh is learning to use fitday, like the pt told him. I could make Ilene's pancakes. I'm on the hunt for freezer quantities of chicken and/or turkey. I've got flower beds that need me. I'd love to go to the gym for cardio.

And ... I think we're going to meet DS's girlfriends parents !!!! This relationship is making this mama very happy!

And now, all of a sudden, we're putting in a water conditioner too. Could a dishwasher be far behind!?!

Red face Briefly lost sight of the goal

I had some problems yesterday. We went for our afternoon walk/snack and there was nothing except pastry/variations of same at the coffee shop. Not our usual place.

Since it was hot out (for April) I had a skinny chiller instead of my usual tea. Compounded by a tea biscuit .

And we went out for dinner. Made the right appetizer choice and had a bottle of mineral water instead of a glass of wine. But the entree could have been a lower calorie one .

Will stay on track today as we're eating all meals at home and will hit the regular coffee shop for the walk/snack.

I like the positive spin Dagmar. I feel better today laready but seriously did I need to finish off the pasta leftovers AND the ice cream last night? Guess that's what I get for having it in the house LOL.

Today it is pouring like mad so looks like I'll be running inside. I do need to have a good run since those have been few and far between too and I have a marathon sneaking up on me.

i'm just going to be a sunday warrior, because yesterday we celebrated my father's birthday and i won't go into details but naturally it involved tons of food. and not of the healthy persuasion.

a Sunday warrior is good

DS4's first day fo football was rained out so instead of running I went to my xtreme strength class. Kick my sorry butt hard. He decided today would be a punishing leg day. So def wont' even attempt to run tonight. I need to rework my schedule for the next 12 days to get some decent running in.

Eating has been good though. We are going out tonight but I left myself enough leeway to enjoy and be smart.

I am checking in Sunday night b/c I am out of calories and carbs and still nosh-y. Last night I did pretty well (or so I thought) pushed my plate away, quite satisfied. Then, bored (at dh's family reunion dinner with four crazy overtired little guys)-- I yanked that plate back in front of me and compulsively and guiltily finished it off. Thank goodness I had asked the waiter to bring only the very oily veggies not the potatoes. That and the gravy ladden more than 2 potions worth of pot roast.
Today, I am on plan and actually pretty hungry still. I'll go drink some tea and more water.

Thx for the will power dust. I'm going to use some.
