Confessions of a Bulk Eater

My nemisis. The weekends always find a way to derail me. It’s not really the weekend’s fault obviously. It’s my own fault. I’m working on it though. I think if I could beat the weekends it would help tremendously in my efforts.

Yesterday was good… I haven’t tracked all my calories yet, but I should be good. Despite the chicken sandwhich (lunchmeat) I ate between getting home and my son’s soccer game. I had the worst cramps and needed to eat so I could take some super-strength ibruprofin. But we didn’t go out to eat after the game like we usually do. That killed two birds with one stone. I knew the amount of calories I was eating AND we saved some money.

Today some friends are coming over for dinner. One couple is our normal “over for dinner on Saturday” friends. The other couple are good friends of ours as well, but they have been in Kenya for the past year and are finally back in the states. It will be good to be able to spend some time with them. I have fajitas cooking in the crock-pot right now. They are starting to smell so good. I’m going to try to limit my calories today so I can enjoy. Although, I won’t eat the meat (it’s steak). I’m going to saute some veggies and make some rice and maybe black beans to have with mine. YUM!!!

My son is going to a “Scary Sleepover” tonight for his cousin’s birthday. We’ll see how that goes. I have a feeling I’ll be having to drive to go get him at like 2am to pick him up. I’m hoping not. My mom is going to keep the baby so we’ll be able to actually enjoy the time with our friends uninterrupted.

I hope everyone has a great weekend!
