Cheated...

I can feel my brain re-clicking to remind me of the life style changes I've made over the last year.  I didn't get to run last night again (due to a family party) but I have EVERY intention of going tonight.  I'm also thinking that with my new work schedule, I'm going to start running in the morning.  I love to run in the AM :)  I made really good food choices over the last few days (minus the stress snacking) and I can feel myself resetting to my new normal...YAY ME!

Yesterday was delicious until dinner :(

Yogurt

 Banana Muffin

 Bean Soup with some crackers (this may look gross but it is SO delicious)

 Then I had some Stacy's chips

 GM

 Salad with nuts, dried fruit and blue cheese with some balsamic dressing

 One of Amy's cookies (yes JUST ONE)

 When I left work we ended up running around and getting ready for my Dad's family party (the Bossle's).  I made a huge salad for the party (identical to the one I had for lunch - above) and wrapped gifts, got the kids dressed and made it to my Aunt and Uncle's house by 6pm.  On the way the poor kids were starving so we stopped at McD (gasp) and got them some chicken nuggets.  I had 2 :)



I had a feeling it was going to be a bit before "dinner" was served and I knew the kiddos wouldn't make it so we had a "snack"...IT WAS A GOOD THING TOO!  There were some nibbles like buffalo chicken dip, veggies and dip, cookies, some crab puff things, cheese and crackers, etc...BUT  at 7:30 Livie was melting down (her bed time is 6) and the boys were exhausted from their beach excursion and dinner hadn't been completed so we ended up bailing and I got CHEATED!  I only had a few bites of horderves b/c I didn't want to blow too many calories and as a result, I didn't get to eat dinner :*(

DJ said to me on the way home..."want me to stop somewhere?!"  At which point I got snotty and said to him "exactly where do I stop for food anymore??"  LOL  I was pouting and not proud of it but I was disappointed.  I should have told my Aunt that we would probably be leaving around 7:30 so she could have planned better...my bad :(  The kids were good though b/c they ate a TON of cookies :)

I went home, chilled with the boys and went to bed.  I've been really exhausted lately, not sure what that's all about...Oh yeah, that's right...my Dearest Hubby has an upper respiratory infection and the poor guy coughs ALL NIGHT LONG!  It is a horrible cough too...I hope this ends soon and doesn't become too serious.  He and I need our beauty rest :)

That's all I got
