Spent the last two days just getting work done, as of 2 hours ago I was caught up…..for now, never lasts…..lol. But it game me time to balance our checkbooks and work on getting my messages done. We are taking off for a few days this weekend to celebrate our 11th wedding anniversary, so I won’t be around to do any of that….of course. We are going to visit the coast, we are about 2hrs from it. We are looking forward to it, mainly because it is a part of Oregon we have yet to explore. =)
Broke down and had to have a Dr Pepper, I’ve only been allowing myself 1 soda on the weekend and still staying within calories. My trainer says to treat myself on the weekends and try to avoid a lot of sugars. But I got such a craving….I tried having other things but there was no way, I just had to have one….I’d probably beat someone for one it was so bad…..lol But the good news is that I still stayed within calories and that was also with taking care of a tombstone pizza craving that I’ve been having for a couple of weeks.
My trainer says that even though I gave in, I still controlled it by making sure I stayed within calories. =)  Then he worked my butt off today. Which was good, because I was in a very irritable mood today when I woke up and that work out helped. If I was just doing my own thing today it would not have been enough.
