Day Seven & Eight- FREE DAY!!!!

Sorry that I didn't blog yesterday, but this weekend has been very BUSY!!!!!!

Yesterday was a staff meeting at the restaurant that I started working for. My husband was out of town for a seminar so I had all three kids. It was a lot of juggling- so I was glad it was a free day, but I didn't really get to enjoy my free day. I missed breakfast because I was so busy trying to get stuff together for the staff meeting that I had that morning, getting the babysitter to the house so I could go, run by my husband's office while a new tenant was moving in. So by the time I finally stopped before the meeting, it was already 11 am.

So I ran across the street from the restaurant I went over to a coffee shop to get a crossiant- just to get something in my stomach. But by the time I came back to the restaurant, everyone had arrived and the meeting was starting. So, I had to put the crossiant down and get the meeting started. Then by the time I finally did eat that crossiant, it was 2 pm, but all the way up to then I only had coffee. By that time, I was really shaky, tired & really sick feeling. Then found out that I had to work that evening, and had to be back at the restaurant at 4 pm, so I had to try and get the sitter home, something substantial and try and lay down before I had to be back at 4 pm.

I decided then- I am going to Wendy's. I got a Spicy Chicken Sandwich meal w/ medium fries & coke. And instead of enjoying it, I pretty much opened my mouth and swallowed it almost whole I was so hungry. After than, I felt soooo sick. I don't know if it was the sandwich, but I knew it was definitely being famished.

I got home and laid down with the kids, while they watched a movie, and I started to feel I was getting some energy back, and by the time I felt somewhat put back together, it was time to get up and get ready for work. The sitter came back, husband was still out of town for a seminar, and I had to get to work.

The rest of the night, all I drank was water with lemon- I learned my lesson from Friday to stay hydrated. When we finally closed and get everything cleaned up, it was about 9:30 pm and all my new co-workers invited me to go out with them to go see the UFC 106 fight and get wings and beer. I needed to eat, get something in my stomach, so I decided to join them. That night I had about 6 wings and some home chips and about 2 1/2 beers. By the time I got home, it was 12:30 am. I got home, changed into pjs, and crawled into bed with my husband and passed out from exhaustion!!!

This morning, I woke up, my husband had already been up and gone to his seminar out of town. I got up with the kids, and made French Toast w/ smoked sausage and a cup of coffee. Lunch was really light, just snacked on what the kids had left on their plate from lunch- pb & j, some chips, water. I did laundry, figuring out what our Thanksgiving menu was going to be and getting a shopping list together. Around 2 pm, my husband came back from out of town from this seminar and he was so sweet and took the initiative and watched the kids, so I could take a break.

For dinner, I make baked chicken breasts, and a pasta side dish w/ water. It was very moist, and tasted it awesome. But I had a real sweet tooth- a nutty bar, and two snack size Snickers.

So tomorrow is back at the gym. The kids are out of school this up coming week and I want to try and get this workout going, especially before my mother-in-law comes on Wednesday. Tomorrow, I think is either going to be upper body or cardio. So we will see then! Have a great night and talk to everyone tomorrow!!!
