My good and bad weekend

     This weekend I totally blew it in regards to my clean eating. Blah! I always feel like crap for doing it afterwards but I still eat just what ever at times.  It is mostly on the weekends too. I do great during the week.  It started Friday night when I ate my husbands left over fried rice from OEC. Then Saturday we went to a Mexican restaurant. I had my usual grilled chicken salad with a side of Pico de gallo. It was yummy. But I also had the chips, salsa, and CHEESE DIP…GAH!  Then my sister and I stopped and got some Fro-yo from sweet tree. It was buy one get one ½ off so I just had to partake in this sale.  Then we went to a bonfire across the street from my house. It was a reception for my husband’s cousin. And OMG let me tell you….they had this Oreo dessert that was out of this world!!!  It was soooooo good.  I know it had to have been bad for me since it was that good.  I do not need that recipe.   Because I knew I had done so bad my sister and I went to the gym. Here is the only good thing I accomplished this weekend…I ran 4 miles in around 50 min. YAY!!!! I got to my 3.1 mark and I was like ok, today I want to go a little further so I’ll go to 3.5 miles. I got to 3.5 and I was like, “ok, I’m not dead, I haven’t thrown up, and I haven’t fainted. I’ll keep going” so I made to 4 whole miles. I was so happy. But boy did I get hot!  I was dripping with sweat and it looked like I had a sunburn because my face was so red but I did it!  And then Sunday came. I think it all started wrong when I didn’t get up for my early Sunday morning workout and I didn’t go to church. It went down hill from there.  I can definitely tell when I eat wrong. I had no energy what so ever. 
   So now it’s Monday and I started off to a good start. I got up at 5:30 am and ran 1.6 miles. I should’ve kept going but I didn’t. I don’t have an excuse either. I’ll try to do better tomorrow morning. At least I got up though. I usually just turn off my alarm and reset it to a later time.  I ate a larabar for breakfast and that’s all I’ve had so far.  (it’s 1:17pm) I guess because I ate so much over the weekend that I just haven’t gotten hungry yet. I made some Lentil chili yesterday so I will fix me a bowl when I get home. Its good though. It’s a nice filling chili.
      I had my chili for lunch and for supper I had some left over fajitas. I decided to give running another try on the treadmill.  I was able to go 3.1miles in 36:45 and 4.0 miles in 47:38. In total I ran 4.25 miles.  This time I seriously almost died. Since it didn't kill me I know I will only get better and better.  Looking forward to my 5K this weekend.
     I have been trying to pick a good day of the week to do my weigh ins. I am thinking Mondays are good. Maybe, since I know I will have to weight in I won't go so crazy over the weekends. This could bite me in the boo-tay later though. It's been a long day. Maybe tomorrow I will have some blog worthy photos to share.
