Free Weekend has come to an end.

Oh my goodness. Friday was my 'free' day. Started out with an intense Chest/Tri/Shoulder workout at 7am (I was off work that day) and 30 min of cardio.

Had a protein shake afterwards, ran some errands and then made protein pancakes - YUM!

At dinner I had two apple martinis (man those hit you hard when you hardly ever drink!) and white bread that would be considered 'free'. Dinner was Yellowfin Tuna and broccoli and I drank water the remainder of the night. Oh, there was that glass of red wine Thursday night with my dinner salad and some trail mix on the ride to Phila Friday.

Saturday - oatmeal, eggwhites, whole wheat toast and coffee for breakfast and then it was all down hill from there. Mind you, I was on vacation...

After breakfast we browsed the city for a few and ended up at a bar. Had half a white russian. Wasn't in the mood to drink and I remembered how fat I got years ago from drinking those! Next I had mussels and lemon water - not too bad, right?

switching groups of friends for the afternoon visit...off to another bar (god help me it's only 3pm!) Hung around their house for a bit then hit a local bar. I finally gave in and had a few beers. Again, hardly ever drinks so I was getting shnickered (I love that word, BF makes fun of me) and needed to eat. Where do we end up? A place called "Buckets". Ever heard of it? STAY AWAY FROM IT!! Nothing good can come of there! I had another pint of lager and sips from a 'bucket' of some mixed drink. For dinner we all nibbled at 'buckets' of waffle fries, wings, chicken fingers and ribs. I ordered a grilled cheese (only ate 1/4 to 1/2) to avoid the fried foods, but I still ate white bread (in butter) and waffle fries, as well as a bite of fingers and 1 wing. The topper of the night-----------GIRL SCOUT COOKIES!!! I've avoided them all season and here I am, schnickered, and wanting something sweet. The friends we were with tried to give me the whole box for the 2.5 hour ride home, I was at least sober enough to beg for them to keep half. I ate the other half during the ride and then was fast asleep. I believe we arrived home at 10:30 and I went straight to bed.

Sunday - eggwhites, tomato and whole wheat/grain bread with coffee. Burger (no bun), sweet potato fries (they sounded healthier than white potato), and 2 Mic Ultra's for dinner with popcorn and part of a hershey bar for desert later that night. I obviously do not know when to say when!

To top it off, I overslept and missed the gym this morning. today is Back/Bis/Abs and, of course, cardio. I will have to hit the gym tonight when it's crowded and annoying!

On a good note, as of Friday morning I was at 163.5 on the scale. Only 4lbs to go before Easter. We have a dinner party in 2 weeks but other than that, I plan on no free days until I'm into the 150s.
