No warmer today but walked anyway, at least I was able to wear sneakers. Did 5.45k, the dog and I. I had a goal of not doing all my walking on Sunday, and I didn't make 10k so my walking goals were not met.
Donna- way to call it like it is on the dinner haha. At least you are honest with yourself on your weekends.
Mike hopefully you can get the scale in the right place tomorrow.

Do not go to the St Patties day feast at work Monday… errr: Did not go to the feast, but I did grab a small slice of Irish soda bread on my way past the left-overs counter.
Last night was family dinner night - aka included cake and wine! Oh well... Tonight is a birthday party for one of DS classmates. At Chuck e Cheeses! Errr... Plan is to eat something before we leave and wait until we get home for another small snack.

Hope it's not too hard to be good, Ama...Chuck E Cheese has the Grossest. Pizza. Ever.
Of course, it's probably been 10+ years since I was in one...
Enjoy dinners tonight, Donna and Jen!
Robin, good job on getting the walk in. Every little bit helps!

It was actually about 1pm before we ate. I did have cake--because my bro brought it in and they cut it at the table. We asked if it was alright. Everyone else had a piece. Not much salad. Blood glucose checked at 4:45 (approx 2hrs later) and it was 7.5. Not bad at all!! I did make sure to drink lots of water to offset the saltiness of smoked salmon.
My brother had eggs, sausage, hash browns and toast and sister-in-law had eggs benedict. I probably had the smallest order!! YAY ME!! Oh and I scrapped the icing off so i only ate the cake.

Amen to that Cassie! I don't think I could choke a piece down if I tried! I am more concerned about the smell, and the kid mad house atmosphere. I am going armed with a fresh pack of baby wipes in my purse to clean all table surfaces, DS hands frequently, etc... DH and I are each feigning head colds to try and get out of going. I don't think either of us can pull it off though. If I have to suffer so does he!

So this weekend has been an entire bust 
. Normally I would want to hide (and I still sort of feel that way) but all the honesty and positive energy here makes me feel like I'm not so alone.
To help keep motivated, my husband and I may register for a race. I did a few 5 kms and one 10 kms a few years back and was in great shape at the time. Maybe it will have the same effect now.
Here's to a new week and new goals
