I didn't have any induldges planned or otherwise as it was basically a working weekend for both of us. I do have some dinners planned in the Smokies, but luckily 2 restaurants have menus online so I can figure out the calories now in my notebook instead of on the fly.dalbador1https://www.blogger.com/profile/09877799102438622117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-35946426923743035982011-09-07T18:41:11.647-04:002011-09-07T18:41:11.647-04:00I'm so glad you enjoyed!!I'm so glad you enjoyed!!MissyEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04908854239406213971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-64108668424550771072011-09-07T07:41:42.195-04:002011-09-07T07:41:42.195-04:00These are just too darn cute.

Lifestyle change means we make room for that kind of thing once in awhile and then do what you did, get right back to it without allowing the rationalization we <b>used</b> to do to set in. Didn't have much of a splurge over the weekend except for part of a beer and some snacks after a 10-mile race. And I'd say that I seriously earned all of that, so I do not feel one bit bad about it!Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11794334786555278616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-26237590232800045272011-09-06T16:58:46.145-04:002011-09-06T16:58:46.145-04:00I'm going to focus on the good things about yo...I'm going to focus on the good things about your birthday weekend - it sounds like you had a good time! I think that counts for a lot and I figure you deserve it!<br /><br />I had some planned splurges with an aunt in town for just a little over a day and a half. I had planned for us to have a dinner out at a local restaurant/farm where the chef is known to work with really fresh ingredients and the menu changes daily. It was fantastic! Then, yesterday we did the touristy thing in historic Sonoma and I heroically avoided the free samples of luscious fudge that were available while we walked all over. We had a planned dinner out yesterday but I brought home half of it, so I don't feel so bad. I did a batch of yard work on Sat and Sun, so while I didn't do a "planned" workout, I still got a workout. I hope you have an awesome week!Arlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18179203856158040224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-66713502211867797972011-09-06T13:29:56.211-04:002011-09-06T13:29:56.211-04:00Sounds like you had a good weekend, and the most i...Sounds like you had a good weekend, and the most important part is that you made intelligent decisions. You thought about it, you didn't eat randomly, and you got right back under control. I wish I could be that disciplined.<br /><br />Congrats!SkyeFyrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15279064967887745099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-54306770167489110632011-09-06T10:13:53.407-04:002011-09-06T10:13:53.407-04:00I didn't really plan for the weekend so with n...I didn't really plan for the weekend so with no plan it wasn't really possible to go "off plan".

I know I do. You have focus and drive to accomplish what you want. I wouldn't call it bad. I would call it a treat :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17641655714977442146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-8666862402763861362011-09-06T09:00:32.675-04:002011-09-06T09:00:32.675-04:00Mine was a bit of both.

And I'm always bad with calories the day after drinking, so I didn't sweat that too much either.<br /><br />It was the LAZINESS that did me in, though. Over the four days, I only did ONE strength workout. That's it, 45 minutes of exercise over 4 days. That's just BAD.<br /><br />But the weekend is now officially over so it's back to the grind. Yeah, it's raining but you know what? I can run in the rain. It won't kill me.JLVerdehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02814082484881071454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-53745892394276184962011-09-06T08:54:53.611-04:002011-09-06T08:54:53.611-04:00Did manage to eat quite a bit more than planned th...Did manage to eat quite a bit more than planned this weekend, but had my good choices moments and am fine overall with how it went.
