A Very McGuilty Weekend...

Yes, I'm feeling very, very guilty!

I saved updating my blog for today because I had a bit of a busy weekend, so I figured I'd just tell you all about it today.

Friday morning when I got off work, I met up with my friend Alicia and we went for a nice walk/jog at Sligo Creek Trail over in PG County. If you've never been, you should definitely go! There's lots of beautiful houses over there, and the whole trail goes along a creek. It's really nice!
It was sprinkling out when we went, which actually made it kind of nice. We got hot, and the rain cooled us off:)

We parked close to New Hampshire Ave. and did 2 miles along the path. Mostly walking and some 1-5 minute jogging intervals in between. It's pretty tough after working a 12 hour shift!
I'm not sure how much farther the path went, but we got pretty far, even past Washington Adventist Hospital, and then turned around. It was nice!!

Later that night I went out with Matt & Phebe to Outback Steakhouse. I stayed under my calories for the most part! I got the Atlantic Salmon with Veggies, a House Salad with Ranch Dressing, had 1/3 of the bread with butter. Then at the end, I did splurge a little! We all shared the new dessert they have, Strawberry Waffle Shortcake! Mmm, it was yummy!! I don't know the calorie content though, so I just ignored that... Haha.  I would definitely recommend it though, to share of course!!

During the weekend, I can't disclose which day in particular, but some drinking went down and some BAD eating!!! The weekend smorgasbord included a club sandwich, 1 chicken tender with honey mustard, 3 white Russians, 1 orange cream sickle (it's a drink), 1 blueberry vodka with sprite, 1 tic tac shot, 1 fourloko, 3 pickles, 12 chicken mcnuggets, 1 bite of a big mac, 1 medium fry, and a couple sips of Dr. Pepper!!! Yeah, REALLY BAD! I felt so bad afterwards, mentally and physically! The bar food was bad enough, but to add McDonald's onto that? Yeah, really bad! I feel like I let myself and my followers down... but I am going to make up for it, I promise! I already did yesterday by doing Couch 2 5k Week 1: day 3. Which felt great! Burned 270 calories. Which means it's time to move on to week 2! Hope it's not too much harder.

I had to get that off my chest and be honest with everyone!! But at least you all know I'm not perfect!! I'm human too, and sometimes I mess up. But I'll try not to let that happen again any time soon! lol!

Today I am going to stay under my calories and I'm supposed to go running/walking with Alicia again, and my sister in-law Jo as well. But I'm not sure how this rain is going to be, so that might get cancelled. I will do the treadmill and possibly a workout dvd instead if that's the case!

I really need to crack down these next 4 days! I definitely don't want to gain at my next weigh in! That would not be good!

If anyone reading this really wants some motivation to lose weight, get MyFitnessPal!!! Seriously, it's so awesome! It's a really easy app, and I just got on it on the computer for the first time today and it's even better! You can update your profile and get a ticker to show your weight loss. There's tons of people to chat with, blogs to read, forums to check out. Just give it a try, it's free!!!

I think I might go to Target or Wal-mart today to get some new workout clothes! I just need a couple things, but if I go to Target, it might end up bad... lol!

I'm posting a picture of my calendar to show you how I log my workouts and what not....

As you can see, on the left side is my starting weight (and Charlie's) and under that is times I've weighed in at home, but my scale is about 1.2 pounds less than the scale at work, so it's different. Sorry my handwriting sucks, so you probably can't really see what I wrote. But as you can see I do something almost EVERY DAY. Yes, Valentine's weekend was an epic fail! lol.

It's almost time for a new month though, so just wanted to show you all this!

That's all for now. I'll post later if I have anything good!
