Friday, May 25, 2012 - What a busy and LOOONG day! After spending the day with in-laws and a busy toddler it was time for me to pack my bags and head to church. We had our annual end of school lock-in for 1st through 6th grade. If any of you are familiar with church functions you know that there is never a short on food, and usually it's junk food. So I planned ahead and ate before I went and also packed some veggies and dips, nuts, banana, granola and fiber bar.
The kids evening was filled with races, Zumba, scavenger hunt and bible trivia kickball. We also had smoothies which Christy ended up helping with. Both of us were happy to see the kids come up for seconds on a healthy snack! After smoothies the girls headed off for spa time while the boys played organized sports. The plan was to play board games next but everyone was wiped out and asking to get ready for bed and watch a movie. I ended up falling asleep around 3am and woke up several times during the night before getting up at 6am to help start breakfast.
Saturday - I finally got home around 10am and then it was time to shower and get ready for a birthday party at the park that started at 11am. After playing and visiting for 2 hours we headed back home so Cameron could take a nap. Well Cam feel asleep on the way home but woke up as soon as I tried to lay him down. I still had to bake two desserts for a family get together later that evening. I ended up making brownies and a cherry/apple crisp. Neither one of these are a healthy choice but it's what I had to work with. I was a little nervous going to a family cookout because I usually leave stuffed and miserable. Not this time! I had water instead of soda and I ate a bunless burger with veggies and passed on the chips. I did enjoyed a small bite of the cherry/apple crisp to satisfy my never ending sweet tooth. We had a great time and can't wait to hang out again. We got home around 8pm, I think and after putting Cameron to bed I crashed. I can't believe I made it through the entire busy day with only 3 hours of sleep!
Sunday - I was still not completely rested but felt better after getting about 9 hours of sleep. After church we stopped by and picked up fast food. I had been so busy I forgot to plan ahead and I was craving burger and fries. I used to eat this at least once a week. I had not had fries or a "real" burger in almost a month. After eating most the burger and a small amount of fries I realized that I did NOT enjoy it as much as I thought I would. I was glad I gave into this craving because now I realize that I don't have to give into all my cravings.
