Date Night..

I know I said that when I started running I was going to try to go Monday - Saturday...unfortunately, no amount of motivation in the world has been able to get me up and out the door on Saturday mornings. So this week, I decided that I would try to trick my brain. First, I wasn't getting up before 8:00. Second, Saturdays would be walking days...so somehow it worked I did a fast paced walk...I even downloaded a new app to help track my distance, pace, and burned calories. I walked 2.1 miles in 31 minutes and oddly enough, by the time I got to 1.5 miles I was really ready to run...but I held myself back, because I set up a program that I would like to try out. When I got home, I did a 20 minute non-stop circuit workout...abs, arms, and legs - and now I am feeling giggly - LOL!
Tomorrow is picture day and the beginning of cycle 3...I doubt there will be any noticeable change in my belly fat, but none-the-less, I am going to keep it up, and continue to take the photos every 17 days...maybe it will be so slight, that after 4 or 5 rounds, I will be like - whoa...it is going away! Hey, a girl can dream. JR made a funny comment that we would finally have the bodies we wanted...but its too bad we wont get them until AFTER the summer. Humph...of course! JR is on course, and depending on tomorrow's weigh in, he will most likely have drooped another 8 pounds over the course of this week alone. His back is totally screwed up. He had a doctors appointment for lst Wednesday but because it started feeling a little better he cancelled it on to wake up on Friday in intense pain. SO, he made another appointment for this coming Wednesday. He went to the hospital yesterday to get x-rays, and those seem to look okay, so it is probably as I said...sciatica. The man has NEVER been to the doctor, at least not since we have been together in over 5 years. I asked when the last time he went to the doctor and he told me it was about 8 years ago when he was so sick he had to go to the ER. Geez! I am not one for going to the doctor either, but I believe in going at least once a year for a check-up and physical which I try to fit in at the same time as my woman's exam! So, anyhow, I am sure the doctor will refer him to a chiropractor - but we will see.
Tonight is our date night, I dont know where we are going or what he has planned, but my mom should be here around 6 to take care of the kids. I am going to try to order things that stay as close to our diet as possible, but I plan on drinking some wine AND eating some chocolate cake! LOL
We are also planning a trip to Louisiana on April 16. It will just be an overnight gambling trip and it looks like some other friends will be joining us, so if any of you are interested...let me know. Logan's game that morning is at 9 and we will get on the road directly after that. drop the kids off in Houston with JR's mom, and continue on to LA. Stay the night and head back on Sunday! I am so excited for a mini getaway!!!
Hope everyone has a terrific weekend!!!
