Another Outing

Another day, another work outing.  We have our sales kick-off today and it's being held at.............where else........a bar.  I realize I'm getting old because having to leave work, drive to the city for an afternoon at a bar and then sitting in rush hour traffic on the way home no longer sounds fun to me!  Yes, I'm old.  I know it'll be fun once I get there, I think it's being in the city and having to worry about traffic that's getting me.  Either way, that gives me a good excuse not to drink more than a drink so that's good for the diet!  My massage yesterday was awesome.  She only spent time on my back because of all of the knots!  Afterwards we went to Costco and got some good things to eat/freeze.  They had low sodium ham and turkey on sale so we stocked up.

Getting Back on Track

After "Pizza-gate" on Monday I feel like I got back on track yesterday.  I stayed within my calorie target, drank all of my water, a finally feel like I'm back in my routine.  I'm pretty excited for today, I'm getting a massage!  Chris bought me a series of massages for Valentine's Day last year.  We never got around to using them, they are expiring in the next few weeks so it's time to use them up :)  I get really bad knots in my back, so I'm hoping this will help.

I Ate Pizza

I probably broke a dieting cardinal rule and I ate pizza last night.  Yes, PIZZA.  Horrible I know.  On a positive note though, I stayed within my calorie target.  I went on My Fitness Pal before diving in and looked up the type of pizza we were having and calculated how many pieces I could have and stayed close to my target.  I know that pizza isn't good for me and I shouldn't eat it if I want to lose weight, however there are just those times when you want to eat it.  It's the only thing I ate, we didn't get any appetizers, I didn't have a drink with it, I had my four squares and that was it.

Getting Back into my Routine

This weekend with my family was awesome!  We had a lot of laughs, shared a ton of great stories and drank a lot of champagne!  For as much as I loved all of it, I'm actually very glad to be back home with no trips in sight.  I really need to get back into a routine.  After having been out of town for work, then to MI for the weekend I feel a little sluggish.  I'm happy that I can get back to eating on my schedule, what I usually eat, workout, etc.  Who would have thought :)

Happy Birthday Gram!

Today is my grandma's 89th birthday!

We celebrated with her yesterday.  Instead of our usual fare of pasta, pizza, etc. we ordered trays of Subway sandwiches!  It was perfect, just overlook the amount of champagne that was drank from 6 pm - 1:30 am once we got back to Aunt Rhonda's and started laughing and sharing stories.  Alcohol doesn't count when the majority of it is bubbles right?  :)  Back at it 100% tomorrow.

A Snowy Morning

It's a very pretty morning here in Michigan.  We got some snow last night and it's making everything really pretty this morning!

Today we're going to go and celebrate Grandma's 89th birthday at the MediLodge.

Off to MI

This weekend is my grandma's 89th birthday.  Some of my family and I are going up to Michigan to visit her.  Chris is going to hang back and be here with the movers and wrap stuff up at my condo for me.  I have a pretty awesome husband!  I'm not worried about going out of town again because the family that I'm going to go and be with are all dieting too :)

Yesterday's food is kind of odd.  I didn't have much to eat at my condo while we were packing up so dinner was chips and salsa and beer.  Obviously not the best but I thought it was fitting because I'm pretty sure that's what I had the day I moved in!
