Hi guys! I have good news and I have bad news.. Lets start with the good news:) We had a ton of fun on our big-sister-only day with Kara. We took her to an indoor safari play place in Plano and then treated her to lunch at Chick-Fil-A. It was so nice to watch her play and run and not feel like she was competing for attention:)
When we started this whole thing we had the idea to make Fridays our "free day" because we usually always go out (the kids stay at Mammy's every Friday). Well, we started our day by being really healthy for a "free day"by having skinny vanilla lattes and a breakfast sandwich. At Chick-Fil-A i ordered a combo with a grilled chicken wrap and waffle fries. Kaleb got a grilled chicken sandwich and ordered fruit as his side, which inspired me to not eat my fries! I didnt even touch ONE fry!!! If you know me, you know that is a BIG deal because i love fries! We headed home feeling successful and happy (and a little tired from running around with Kara).
Now the bad news... dun dun dun...
For date night we went to one of our favorite places, BJ's Brewhouse. After not having a soda all week i was excited to have some of their great draft cream soda, and Kaleb was excited to have a beer with his dinner. Since it was "free day" I ordered a cheeseburger with fries and Kaleb ordered and some crusted chicken with butter sauce. We also ordered avocado egg rolls (yum) as an appetizer. By the time we finished our meals we both already felt bad. We felt full, sluggish, and kind of like barfing. Immediate regret. I almost fell asleep on the way home from the restaurant! We had plans of doing our workout when we got home, but we were so tired that we just laid on the couch and stared at each other. After some TV watching we went to bed. No workout! Fail. Fail. Fail.
We woke up this morning vowing to NEVER do that again. We feel so much better when we eat healthier, and we wont reach our goal missing workouts. We are still keeping the "free friday", but, we wont ever go all out like that again. No more soda, unhealthy appetizer, greasy burger, AND plate of fries all in one sitting for me!
Today we are back track. We had eggs, toast, and turkey sausage for breakfast. I already feel better! Kaleb is out golfing, baby brother is sleeping, Kara is watching Bubble Guppies, and I am having coffee before a nice house cleaning adventure:)
We will post tonight after our workout!
I hope everyone has a GREAT Saturday!
