My younger daughter decided to have a break down when I went to leave. She wanted to come with me even though I explained the gym's daycare was closed on Sundays. It took a few minutes of cajoling but I was finally able to convince her to let me leave. She had been crying and was still sniffling a little by the time I left. I honestly thought about skipping the gym because I hate when my kids are sad but she does this every time I go anywhere without her (which isn't very often) and she needs to learn how to cope, after all she is almost seven.
So I ended up going to the gym and I had an excellent workout. Instead of doing the usual 30 minutes of cardio I did 45! As always, after my cardio session I stretched for about 15 minutes followed by 30 minutes of strength training. I completely lost track of time and before I knew it, it was already 5:45pm. I was supposed to be at the restaurant for my grandma's birthday dinner at 6pm and I still had to shower and pick up my kids. I called my mom and asked her to meet me at the restaurant (since she has my kids). I then busted ass, took a two minute shower, got dressed, and zipped over to the restaurant. I made really good time but was still five minutes late.
For dinner I had the New York steak with a side of veggies. I split the steak with my younger daughter so I only ate half of it (plus the veggies). Dinner was delicious. My family ordered champagne with dinner and then some super yummy desserts (my weakness). I am very happy to report that I didn't have any champagne or dessert (not even a bite).
We left the restaurant at 7:30pm and then had to run over to out friend's house who was having a party for her baby daughter who was turning one.
We got home around 9:05 and after putting my kids to bed I straightened up and ran a load of laundry.
I did extremely well today if info say so myself. We went to three birthday events all of which had cake and I didn't eat one bite! I am also happy that I ordered the steak at the restaurant when what I REALLY wanted was a cheeseburger. The restaurant we went to has the BEST cheeseburger and I used to pick up to-go orders from there all the time. Their cheeseburgers rank on my top five favorite foods so you can imagine how hard it was to not order one. If I hadn't been taking the Alli I probably would have. Thank goodness I have this wonder pill to keep me in check.
Speaking of Alli, I was wondering if it was even working (some people eat whatever they want without the horrid side effects). Well, I now know for sure that these pills are working.
I must have eaten too much fat yesterday because I experienced a little of the "treatment effects" today. It wasn't that bad but I also didn't eat that much fat, in fact, I was kinda surprised I even had "treatment effects" since I've been really good about my diet. I have a feeling I added too much oil when cooking my corn tortillas last night. Guess I won't be doing that again. Lol.
Alright...there is more to report but it's already 10:47pm and I am really TIRED. Good night everyone, sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs (Gross!) bite. xoxo
