Day 275 - 278... With Cascade comes candy!

So this weekend Ben and I decided we needed to get out of town for a bit so we loaded up Ava in the car and headed to the cabin! Before we headed to the cabin we went grocery shopping... this is always an unhealthy trip to the store. We loaded up on chips, chocolate covered almonds, whoppers, Twizzlers, double stuffed Oreos, gummy bears, Mike's Black Cherry Hard Lemonade, hot dogs and stuff for sausage sandwiches. We also picked stuff up for dinner that Thursday night... it consisted of clam strips, tarter sauce and a pint of Ben and Jerry's Half Baked ice cream. :( Needless to say the last 4 days have been filled with eating nothing but crap! The only healthy things that I've had to eat is the tomato on my hamburger, a handful of grapes, water and that's about it. Tomorrow it is back to eating healthy.

One thing that I did keep up with was working out! Thursday I got up and did lower body finished in 40 minutes again sticking with 12 reps at the same weight. That was followed by 65 minutes on the treadmill I was able to push myself to 4.35 miles. Friday was a rest day so no workout. Saturday we were up at the cabin but that didn't stop me from getting my workout in. We just set up a gym at the cabin! :)

I got in my upper body workout in 30 minutes (I didn't do a warm up so it went faster) I stuck with 12 reps at the same weight. The only difference was that I did bent over rows with the band instead of the barbell since we couldn't bring it with us. Later that afternoon Ben, Ava and I went for an hour long walk... pretty slow walk but there were hills to be climbed so that added a little bit to it. Today we came home and the whole trip home I was debating about going to the gym or not if there was time once we got home. I just kept telling myself it wouldn't make a difference if I did or not. However, once I got home I decided to hit the gym anyways. I ended up taking it a bit slow today but I was still able to get in over 4 miles. Overall I feel like this weekend went good for exercise even though I pushed the limits on what I ate.

I am dreading getting on the scale tomorrow because I feel like I'm going to be over 170. :(

The worse part is that this weekend is Ava's birthday. We are taking her to the fair on Saturday and her birthday party is Sunday... unhealthy food is in sight. Then the next weekend we will be hopefully spending 4 days 5 nights at the cabin... more unhealthy food. I'm going to try to not overdo it like I did this weekend but it is so hard. I know I need to start pushing myself harder if I ever want to pass 160 and not in the direction that I've been going.

I need to rededicate myself to this and fast!

Let the lbs melt!!!
