Friday I didn't workout.
Saturday I went for a 30-minute run. It ended up being about 2.67 miles. I felt like I was SPRINTING but the phone kept shouting out at me that I was running at a 11:30 pace or so. Gosh, that sounds so slow but I swear, I was running so fast. LOL For whatever reason, I felt like I was working so much harder than I actually was.
Saturday we went to the Arizona Opry with Michael's grandparents. We each got a gluten free meal, which was really nice of Michael's grandma to think about pre-ordering for us. But I ate a sugar-free pudding AND a root beer float.
There's a story behind me & root beer floats... I did not have my first root beer float until 2006. Michael & I were on our one-year wedding anniversary vacation and he ordered one while we were in Las Vegas. I thought he was crazy. It sounded gross- root beer and ice cream? What? How had I lived 20+ years of my life without hearing about this crazy ass idea?
He ordered one to-go and we left the restaurant. We proceeded to cross Las Vegas Blvd (which is a very busy street) where I took my first drink. And I stopped. In the center of Las Vegas Blvd. It was that good. It was heaven and pure bliss in my mouth.
And I was immediately pissed for missing out for 20+ years of my life.
Now whenever we go someplace and they announce that they have root beer floats, I order one. I have a lot of time to make up for!!
Either way, not good for trying to lose weight.
We're staying at a friend's house this weekend since we rented out our house and we offered to make them an Indian dinner of Butter Chicken, rice and naan.
So there I was eating naan after eating a root beer float and some pudding. It can't possible get worse.
Oh, but it can.
We proceeded to have a good ole time hanging out, drinking like college kids, and eating chips, crackers, and more crappy food.
The good? I haven't laughed that fricken hard in a long time. We had a total blast!
Sunday:
We woke up early despite a solid hangover and sat on their back patio drinking coffee, chatting, playing with the dogs and eating breakfast. Then we took the dogs for a long walk- I'm not sure how long exactly but more than 2 miles, probably less than 3 miles. Then we headed to the gym where I did a bunch of leg exercises:
Back squats 90# (15 reps - 3 sets of 5)
Deadlifts (2-25# dumbbells - 3 sets of 10)
Lunges (40# bar - 3 sets of 8 each leg)
Good girl & Bad girl - 3 sets of 10 60# for good girls, 50# for bad girls
Donkey kicks - 2 sets of 10 each leg 50#
Then I did some foam rolling and then we did a plank set which was SUPER HARD!!
I weighed myself at the gym today and I weigh 153 so technically I've lost 2 pounds but considering my weight fluctuates daily I'm not giving it too much thought. Given how crappy I've eaten, it should have gone up, not down!
Tonight I need to plan my week of workouts & we can't go grocery shopping b/c we're not at home until tomorrow (Monday). My doctor's appointment to have my IUD out has been pushed back (by the office, not me) so I'm a bit disappointed that won't be happening on Monday anymore.
My new health insurance takes effect April 1st so I've checked that task off my to-do list. YAY!!

So hard to stay in check when having a good time with friends! This is always the toughest for me. Even my friends that are super supportive of my efforts - I still want to laugh and drink and eat chips with them!
