Guns, Glutes and Guts

Wednesday was an odd day for me, but in a good way.  We started the day bright and early at the dentist for both kids.  They are so awesome at the dentist and both are still cavity free.

 

We had a delicious breakfast at Waffle House.  Six months ago I would have ordered cheese grits, a double order of hash browns, scattered, double covered and double chunked, a waffle AND a Coke. Well, maybe 2 Cokes.  Today I ordered grits and an omlet and ate about half of each.  Portion control has been one of the biggest things I have learned.  Water, water. water.  I drink it ALL DAY LONG. It took me a while but now my body craves it.  It has to be ice cold and I MUST have a straw.

After dropping the kids at school, Bret and I looked around at our local sporting goods store and went home for a quick nap.  Working late tonight allowed me to catch one of my favorite classes at the gym, which happens to only be offered when I am usually working.  3G (Guns, Glutes and Guts!) Blast is a high intensity interval workout that leaves me super sweaty and super sore the next day.  If you're local, you should try Tracy's 3G Blast at the McDonough Gold's (Mondays @ 8:30 am/Wednesdays @ 12:30 pm).

I was able to get a quick, peaceful Starbucks trip in all to myself on my lunch break Wednesday evening. 

 

I am frequently asked if I allow myself to "splurge" or "cheat".  The answer? ABSOLUTELY.  Starbucks happens to be my weakness.  Other areas I try to find better alternatives to my cravings (like protein pancakes!) and again, have portion control.  I believe if you don't give into cravings now and then, you're setting yourself up for failure.

 

I ended my night with FaceTime with these goofs. Surely glad I don't have to work that late every night anymore.
