Breakfast-Protein Shake
Snack-Almonds
Lunch-Chicken,brown rice, broccoli
Snack-Hummus/Veggies
Snack-1TBS all natural PB on toast (this was before a baseball game at 5pm, and I knew I wouldn't eat dinner till late, and I was hungry)
I thought I was so good to throw in that snack before the game to help avoid any major crashes, from being so hungry I could chew off my own arm, or steal goldfish from the family next to me. You know one of those families that has everything so together, that they have the cooler full of sandwiches, healthy snacks and drinks for the 5pm weeknight baseball game. Yeah that family....and for the record I am NOT that family.
(this is not my son, I stole another Mom's picture, but we were at the same game. Considering no one will ever read this I don't think she will mind.)
So we get home and nothing was taken out for dinner and my husband says we should go get ourselves some Jaffa tonight. (our favorite Greek food). I thought, ok, I have a healthy salad that I get there. I can come home after, get the kids ready for bed and do my gym session. Sounded good to me....so we fed the kids and left our little ones with our 14 year old.
As we head out my man keeps going straight when he should have turned. I look at him..."where are you going." He gives me his sheepish little grin, and says "I thought we could go to 15 degrees instead." Oh shit!!! I give him my deer in the headlights look, and stammer something about how I am trying to be good. I can't go to the local wine bar. I'm not drinking. I'm trying to be good damn it!!! Now my husband is very supportive, and would have gone straight to the restraunt. But I just couldn't resist the thought of a.) being alone with my husband b.) no kids c.) wine d.) being alone with my husband.
I know there are supposed to be no excuses, but you have to understand with 5 active kids, two full time jobs and a toddler that really counts for like 2 extra kids, when your husband gives you the sexy smile and says lets do the wine bar........you GO!!!
So we went....had a great time. Had so much to talk about that we were jumping subjects and couldn't keep up with what we were talking about. We held hands and walked in the rain to go down the street to see a friend who works at a restraunt and tell him about how amazing his son played in the game, had one more glass of wine and then went home. I will not regret that night.
My diet plan allows for two cheat meals a week, so I used one on a tuesday, sue me. If I can just stay on track the rest of the week. And only allow myself one more cheat meal, and get all my workouts in I will be on plan.
Our dinner consisted of a caprese pannini, and hummus and crostini.
So back at it today, I WILL follow plan and tell my husband no if he gets any ideas!
I also need to pick a weigh in day. I used to do Monday's and just think I am punishing myself since my weekends are my hardest obstacle. So I am switching it to Fridays as my official weigh in day, hopefully my good numbers will help me motiviate for the weekend.
