A full week down

And I've only cried a little...

Friday was leg day. We actually did really well. We had taken the girls out to see The Illusionists.  I feel like this was one of the few times we didn't eat out when we were going to an event - especially downtown.  We all ate ahead of time.  Of course getting there, you just smell all the amazing cinnamon almonds and whatnot, but Steve and I were good. We got the girls snacks and we just had water.  When we got home, we got them both in bed and then rocked it out!  

Saturday..... Saturday was just an emotional day for me... we all have those.. (At least that's what I tell myself...) hahaha  It wasn't anything in particular. I was just feeling drained a bit and just like anything could just set me off.  So it was a little rough at times.  I already wasn't looking forward to Cardio Flow [because cardio is the devil]...but knew it needed to be done.  I told Steve that we should just do it.  (This was mid-day)... This was the workout that broke me.  I was filled with "I can'ts" and tears did well up.  I felt knocked down.  This is the time that I normally would've just shut it off, called it a day and probably wouldn't have continued. Luckily as emotional as I was, I had Steve with me and I kept going.  I didn't get every rep in.  There was a move or two that I just didn't attempt.  My form probably wasn't amazing.  My arms and knees crack like crazy. But I kept moving for the most part.  I was glad to be done -- and then bummed that this will be every Saturday for the rest of the program. LOL  But, I know it will get better....it has to, right?!?! 

Saturday afternoon was my niece's bday party.  I prepped myself for this... here's how it went in my head:
     Okay, so I'm not going to have pizza.  I might have a piece of cake...but not if it's just a Kroger cake because I could have those any time.... But if it's a bakery cake, maybe I'll have a small piece.... **arrive at the party and see bakery box** Well, shit... okay... Oooh it's chocolate cake (frosting) - I can resist that. It's totally not my favorites. I'm just not a chocolate cake/chocolate frosting girl...  Perfect!  **texts Kelly - I'm not having pizza or cake!!**  Feeling good... Thennnnn, they cut it.. F it's not chocolate cake...it's strawberry or cherry! Damnit!!! One of my favorties (but with different frosting..)  Oh well..... I still passed on it. #WINNING

We got Chipotle for dinner and it was amazing.  I think that will be our "splurge" place.  It's so good and not all that bad for you.  

Yesterday we went to see Avengers: Infinity War.  It was really good.  I did have popcorn and a diet pop, but that was my breakfast and lunch...

Sooooooo...all in all, the weekend was good.  A bit draining emotionally, but it wasn't just one thing.  It wasn't the diet or exercise....well I guess cardio flow didn't help! LOL  But I'm ready for a new week. I'm feeling good.  Feeling proud of myself.  I meal prepped a ton yesterday...felt like I was on my feet all day long.  My biggest downfalls for the weekend were not drinking enough water and not being good about timed nutrition.  We'll just keep chugging along!!

Since it's been a full week, I'll share my progress:  11 lbs gone!  

And with that, I hope everyone has a great week.  Make the most of it!
