The weekend..... Did she make it

Okay as the weekend approached, I was worried about what is going to happen. How am I going to make it.  Being at work is so easy, feeling like I was in 4 walls of confinement where I can be monitored.  The weekend comes around, and it was like being released into the fields of the unknown.  Needless to say I have survived.  Saturday was pretty typical day like the week, I did go into work for a little while.  After work it was hard.  Keeping track of time, making sure I did all 6 meals. Its like standing in line at Target to pay for you laundry detergent and its coming up on 2 1/2 hr mark.  Than reaching into my purse and grabbing a meal bar and picking up a bottled water while waiting in line. I just did not want to get off schedule. I have noticed my blood sugar has gone down significantly. It is now averaging around 100-148.  When it used to be in the 200's.  That was an Ah Ha moment. 

Saturday night I did go out to eat.  Went to Sweet Tomatoes, yes the salad bar. Before  I went I did something horrible. (I can hear everyone now...uh oh)  As some of you know, I have to eat 7 oz of protein with my green.  At the salad bar you can "buy" Grilled chicken 2 oz for 1. 25, I remember this because I have bought it before.  Now I would have to buy 4 containers subtract one ounce from it. It would have cost me and extra 5 bucks.  So before I left I took some of my portioned chicken i have and put it in a baggie and brought it with me, when I sat down, and put it on my green.   Yes I am cheap but my salad would have cost me $13 with my coupon. Don't worry I was discreet. Hey it worked, spinach, romaine, little bit of tomatoes, some mushrooms, celery and cooked at home chicken viola my lean and green.. Oh with a little dash of olive oil.  I did tear up a little because I could not have their blueberry muffins and cheesy bread, and ice cream (which I went home and made myself).  So that was my Saturday.  Oh yeah, I brought Gigi to work with me, when I took her out for my 15 min break.. I had enough energy to run for 10 min straight.  Pretty awesome!

This morning (Sunday) I had some oatmeal.  I am beginning to like it more. I think the first one I did not cook it long enough and seemed soupy, this time it looked and tasted like oatmeal. I think tomorrow I am going to try the pancakes next. I did get a little walking time in.  It rained so I was wet by the time I got back. Gigi was reluctantly at the puppy spa getting a wash down and nails clipped.  When I picked her up, they had a little green bow with a shamrock(right now the bow is still there but the shamrock is M.I.A.) attached to her collar and she smells like sweet pear.

Well the weekend is finally winding down.  I have survived.  I have yet to weigh myself this weekend.  I will do it tomorrow. This week I am going to start using my Wii Fit.  Starting slow..
