Date night

I knew it was gonna be bad well in advance.  We went to Cheesecake Factory.  I wish I'd looked at the menu ahead of time though, as they now have a Skinnilicious menu that looked pretty good!  But I had barely eaten all day to accommodate, and already knew what I wanted, so I didn't deviate.

All I really ate during the day was some Spaghetti-os that I shared with D.  He had to be at work with me for a big portion of the day.  So by the time we got to dinner I was starving.  That might not be the best idea again, but I have such a hard time esp if around other people who eat typical.  I did manage to only have one small piece of sourdough bread.  Then I got the crusted chicken romano.  Basically, parmesan chicken with spaghetti.  I ate half the chicken, and then about 1/4th of the pasta (huge portions!).  We did order cheesecake, but split a piece and I took exactly two bites and then put my fork down.  That was GOOD cheesecake tho.  lol  I also had a glass of sweet tea to end my day at 2102 calories.  

No workout today as we didn't get home til really late, but I feel like I was on the go all day just nonstop.  Tomorrow will be back to the gym.

Home workout

I feel so stupid...like really really stupid.  Today ended up being another day where I couldn't hit the gym.  D had such an awful day at school, that I had to get him early, and I just couldn't reward him with a gym trip.  He was in bed early and I was sitting on the couch bemoaning the fact that I couldn't workout.  Do you see where the stupidity is coming in?  Hell, I even used to have a trainer who would COME to my house.  I KNOW what I can do at home.  Cue lightbulb moment.  See below for what I ended up doing.

Food wasn't great, I really struggled with emotional eating today.  I kept my cals ok, but not proud of the choices.  Breakfast was some crackers.  For lunch, I had a heat up beef stew meal, and then a string cheese and some chips.  Dinner was a corn dog and some curly fries with a bit of light ranch.  And then in the evening, I added vodka to my Diet Dr Pepper to end my day at 2008 calories.

Workout:  once my lightbulb moment hit, I got busy!  Put my headphones on and busted out 3 sets of 15 squats, then 2 sets of 30 ball crunches.  I also grabbed my 12 lb weight and did tricep dips, bicep curls, and I don't know what it's called but where I held the weight out in front of me straight, and then out to the side straight.  (My arms were SO trembly after that).  Then to shake it all out and just get some cardio in, I did some general dancing around to the music til I got nice and sweaty.  It felt great!
