Wedding Days and Road Trips

So, as Jeff has said, we had a very hectic travel weekend this past weekend, taking a road trip to southern Georgia to see my brother get married. I enjoyed celebrating with my little brother and my new sister-in-law and visiting with my family.

The happy couple.....awwww!

With the hectic schedule and late return on Sunday to do our Scupt Circuit, we missed our weigh in this week. I have meant to do it both Monday and Tuesday, however in my zombiefied state (Jeff is right about that), I have forgotten both mornings.

SO - we'll wait until next week. Maybe we'll see great results since it will be a 2-week result.

It wasn't just the weigh-in that got off track this week. Once again, we fell vicitm to bad diet trap. I see a pattern. I am doing great Monday - Thursday, and then I fall apart with the busy/social weekends. It was not even liquid calories this past weekend.

Too be fair to myself, I did get the healthy salad at Applebees for lunch on Saturday (gotta celebrate the small victories, right?) Too bad that I could not resist cake, cookies, and cheesecake squares at the reception. Sigh.

The good news, I am seeing some changes physically. I've never had any muscle definition in my arms. Let's face it, I've never had muscles in my arms. It is only 3.5 weeks in, and I can already see some definition beginning in my arms. I am SO excited!!!

I don't think it is an official "gun show" yet, but is more than I've ever had before. :)

Ok, since I don't have results for you this week, I thought I'd try some inspiration. There may be some of you out there thinking, "good for them, but I just don't have time for that." I know you are out there. I've been that person.

So, I thought I'd share a little about my schedule this past week, so you can see that it is not easy for us to fit it in either.

So, as you can see we lead busy lives. I won't say this is easy, but, we are committed. Knowing that I've thrown my chubby out on-line for all to see helps. When I feel like staying in bed and skipping that day's workout, I think of how lame that would be in our blog.

I've been suprised and delighted to see who has been reading. I appreciate all the feedback. Thanks to all of you for being part of our journey.
