Challenges

I need to work on my moderation skills.  Valentines day I ended up eating pizza and mousse-cheesecake, and I succeeded with the mousse-cheesecake because I was able to share it with hubby, but he got me a heart shaped perogy pizza and by the time it arrived I was so hungry that I ate more than I should have.  I had tried to order a salad, but then my husband said that he wanted to get me the heart-shaped pizza for me, so I gave in.

Saturday night (Friends Birthday Party) looks like it was a challenge, but I'm actually pretty 'ok' with it.  The only thing I really would change is having the cinnamon bread from little caesars before hand, but again I was starving and it was easy.

Saturday was an insanely busy day for me, so I was not able to get my Chalean "Burn it off" and "Recharge" workouts in.  I did go for a walk with a friend though, and planned to run 8k on Sunday, so again I'm not too torn up about it.

Successes

My eating was a LOT better (for the most part) than the previous week.  I was proud that I shared my Valentines dessert instead of hoarding it all to myself.

I consider the Birthday Party a success over all because I only had 3 drinks and two sliders while I was there.  Many times I just want to keep going and could have done a LOT more damage.  Also I had a GREAT time.  It was a lot of fun and well worth a few extra cals.  With exercise I was only over by about 500 for the day which puts me at no loss/no gain.

I lifted heavier with some things in Chalean this week!!  I am feeling stronger for sure!  I was also really happy that I got ALL my runs in!  I did 8k on Sunday, in the pouring rain and howling wind, pushing my baby girl in her stroller... I still can't believe that!  It just goes to show how far I have come.
