Ended up working most of the weekend so didn't reach my goals of cleaning and taking time to myself. BUT, I was good about logging everything and even came in under calories on Saturday. Yesterday was a different story, went over when I baked cookies for kiddos (ate like 4 on my own!) but exercised in the afternoon. I definitely have to get a heart rate monitor I was pounding it on the elliptical yesterday... did 30 seconds of extreme and 30 seconds of moderate for almost 30 minutes. Silly machine says I only burned a little over 100 cals... no way!
Today's goals:
1.) Limit sugar and carbs to make up for yesterday's cookie binge!
2.) Increase veggies and fiber
3.) Go to a kick boxing class tonight.0 -

Wow, what a ****ty day yesterday.
I went to dinner at a friend's house last night, completely unexpected. Planned on only having one glass of wine (which threw that goal in the trash) and just kept drinking. That led to a lot of eating. And now my brain is fuzzy and I feel like I still have alcohol running through my system. That has started my day off today eating crap to just try to absorb the wine in my blood. I am so mad at myself I could scream. If anyone actually reads this, I could use some serious support right now. Thanks.
