Long weekend + pancakes = struggle

I am such a creature of habit. I love schedules and predictability. My husband is quite the opposite. He is as spontaneous as they get. Needless to say, this has been a source of friction for us at times.... which has absolutely nothing to do with this blog. Back to the point.... I thrive on schedules which was reinforced this weekend.

This weekend we went to the pool 3 out of 3 days, had 83 of our closest friends over for pancakes, and the rest of the time had no structure at all to our days. Add to that the fact that I have no food in the house and no grocery money until Thursday. Not a good combination. Needless to say, I struggled. I actually didn't do to badly, considering all the strikes I had against me. I didn't eat too poorly- a few potato chips is the worst thing I put in my mouth. One major accomplishment is that I had 0 pancakes yesterday. The downside to that is that I had 0 of anything. The last person left at 12:30 and I hadn't eaten anything. I know better than that, but I just didn't have time to put anything healthy in my mouth. My thought was that it was better to not eat than to eat unhealthy. Wrong. That's when the potato chips went in. Lesson learned.

I'm glad the holiday weekend is over. Today and tomorrow will be a struggle eating as I really don't have anything in the house. I'm so over budget it's not funny. I have chicken, no veggies, though. I'll come up with something. I worked out this morning and it kicked my butt again (so much for the second week is easier). I won't be able to do any double workouts this week as we have swim team in the evening. I also have to weigh in on Friday morning because we're going camping this weekend.

The weekend is behind me and I'm moving forward with a few good lessons learned.
