Back on Track and Feeling Good

So, let's completely ignore the fact that I ate a ton of chocolate this past weekend since it was Valentine's day. The weekends are a trap, people. A trap. Monday-Friday night, I can rock on my eating plan. Off the wagon I go Friday night until Sunday. Sometimes are worse than others, but you get the idea. Any way.....I found this gem on Pinterest and loved it! Here's my daily checklist:

I mean, #1 and #3....got it! #2 is clearly a work in progress.

Speaking of progress, I got back into my workout regimen after the dreaded recovery week break. Week 1 of a new camp. I went 5 days this past week. That meant back to waking up at 4:30 AM on Wednesday/Friday. Here was my Wednesday morning pic. Yeah, that game changer shake gives me what I need to complete the whole hour without feeling hungry. I can't wait for the new cafe latte flavor to come to my door step in a few days.

Here's another good motivational quote I found.....

I posted this on Friday evening. I woke up at 4:30 that morning really wanting to skip my workout. Then I got to thinking about my Greek Gyro and fries that I was going to have for dinner, all the chocolate I was going to consume, and the other food I was already planning to eat over the weekend. If I didn't want to feel guilty, I needed to complete my workout plan. I was determined to not feel guilty.

Friday night was another painting date for us. We haven't been in a couple of months, but we found a painting we liked. I had a free class, and the owner always has 50% off codes available. We always hit up Alex's Greek Cafe next door to the studio before painting. We sat next to a fun couple that kept us laughing the whole time.

Our great masterpiece. We're thinking guest bathroom for this one. I mean, we really are running out of space for them. Next up, Mr. B wants to paint the Batman vs. Superman painting......

Saturday was a day of running errands and laziness. Mr. B and I have kind of made a habit out of getting take out on Saturday nights and watching movies together. The past 2 weeks we went to the library and got some for free. This week, we chose from our own collection. We only watched 1 movie this week. Mr. B wanted to play cards. We played 2 games of Nertz (which I clearly won) before heading to bed. Sunday was Valentine's Day. He worked and I went to church. The rest of my day was spent in laziness on the couch. We both took a 2 hour nap that afternoon. We must have been tired! All I requested was some of his chicken strip and Mac n' Cheese that he hand makes at work. I did a bonus post about our Valentine's Day that you can catch up on here.

I was lucky and had a 3 day weekend this week. I spent my Monday in laziness and did some laundry. I had a brief interruption when the AT&T guy came out to install our new internet, but other than that it was restful. I just woke up from an hour and a half nap. Why in the world did I need one of those when I already slept 10 hours the night before!? I'm looking forward to tonight when I get to workout with friends from church and celebrate Pam's 100th check-in with Camp Gladiator!!! Tomorrow is another 5 AM workout since I have to work late and can't attend my usual evening class. Back to back 5 AM classes.....I can do this!!!!

And just because my mom just sent me these.......

We're traveling to Lubbock this weekend to celebrate this little guy's 1st birthday (which on the 24th).
