Alarm sounds at 6:00am. My mind goes "ugh, I do not want to wake up." My husband leans over and says "come on honey, we're going to walk like planned. you know you'll feel better." I ponder this thought hum, stay in bed longer or walk? "alright then, I'm up"

37 minutes later I've had a nice walk around our VERY hilly neighborhood and already burned 165 calories before breakfast!

Breakfast was an orange, pineapple, banana smoothie.

Computer problems (and phone issues) at work were insane but I managed not to let it get to me. I stayed on track with the nutrition that I had planned and even worked in a bit of fat free popcorn.

I got home, put my workout clothes on again, and completed my 25 minute strength training workout (which consisted of barbell bench presses, ball planks, hammer curls, 20lb dumbbell squats, mountain climber and hip flexors).

Hubby made a delicious baked pork (no picture so ham will have to do) and we ate it with salad and one serving of jalepeno queso chips.

Dessert was a soft serve baby cone. I threw away most of the cone though since I knew it would not make my tummy feel good.

Tomorrow is my weigh in day. I am not worried because I am SURE it's going to be up since I had somewhat of a binge this past weekend. It's okay if its up. It will be fine.

The number on the scale does not define me!
(Now I just have to remember that tomorrow morning. lol)
