Weekend and Monday Update

Well the weekend was slightly challenging.  Saturday Chad and I took the kids to the zoo and since it was so stinky cold out we couldn't have the picnic we had planned, so we opted for stopping and having lunch somewhere.  The chosen venue?  Snuffy's Malt Shop.  Now I love Snuffy's as much as the next person, but their menu is not exactly condusive to my healthy eating plan.  I order a Bison burger with O-rings and of course a brownie malt.  Sunday was a little bit better in the way of choices, but the quantity was more.  My mom fixed a full Thanskgiving style turkey dinner for my sister, the kids and I and it was SOOOOO good, but there was a lot of it and I ate a lot of it and I paid for the weekend with a 1 lb increase on the scale yesterday at my Team Training.  I normally don't struggle much during the week.  I feel more in control than the weekends.

Last night's team training was ok.  Nothing exciting or spectacular, but Kathy was trying to juggle weigh ins at the beginning of class as well, so I'm going to give her a break on this one.  We were kind of on our own the first half of class.  The second half we did a 30 minute cardio test.  Basically you go for 30 minutes on the treadmill and see how far you can get.  Clearly the faster you go, the further you'll get in 30 minutes, so some of the girls were in a bit of a competition with each other, which was fine, except one of them stopped half a dozen times to wipe her sweat and drink water.  She probably was STOPPED for a full minute if not more each of those times and was essentially cheating the assessment...HOWEVER, she is really not cheating anyone except herself.  Her progress will be staged and fake and will not show a clear representation on what's she's accomplished.  Oh well.
