WHEW! What a Weekend!

Friday Cade & Jenn went to the JP in Georgetown and got married. I left work early to visit my knee surgeon (visit went really well - stitches came out). And the rest of the afternoon I spent getting ready to have all his friends and a few of ours over for BBQ, etc. Of course I pulled out the chocolate fountain and bought a small wedding-like cake.

So, lots of calories... and to top it off Cade's mom came in 1+ hours late and I got all bent out of shape. Of course I think the real reason I was bent out of shape is because she looks so damn good. She's lost about 50 lbs. Says she's been on phentermine... I LOVE phentermine! I just want to lose 15.

Anyway, lots of calories, too many to count. Then we got up at 5 a.m. and drove to Shreveport to Jim Neil's memorial service. Not too many calories, but I did eat a whatachicken and a few fries for supper. I would have been fine if I had just had a salad.

However, on the way home... we were both so exhausted and afraid that Jimmy would fall asleep driving back... we stopped 101 miles out of Dallas for gas. I got out and Jimmy thought we should have a diet Coke. I suggested a Red Bull. Neither of us had ever had one before. I think it is the only reason we survived. So... I'm trying all the energy drinks now to see what I like, but... they're all 16 oz. I just want the 8 oz ones. They must be sugar free however.

Yesterday we took the kids to the Bob Bullock museum, then went to dinner. I also worked out some yesterday. I kind of struggled, but I did my knee rehab and 10 minutes on the elliptical plus abs. Then of course plenty of walking, stairs at the museum. Not too painful.

So here's the rundown today. I opened so no workout. Did my leg lifts for my knee rehab tonight. I tried to get Jimmy to play tennis but he said, no. :-( I'm not counting these points for workout.

BREAKFAST: usual cereal bar, banana, vitarain water + coffee [5 pts]

LUNCH: Progresso Soup (0), raw carrots (1), 4 slices deli turkey (2), 2 Wasa crackers (1), Laugh Cow Swiss cheese (1) [5 pts]

Sugar Free Rock Star drink (16 oz) 10 cals about 4:30 (later than I would like)

DINNER: Kashi Crunch (3), 1/2 c sk milk (1), 2 Wasa crackers (1), 2 TB humus (2), 14 Pringles lite (1) [8 POINTS]

TOTAL: 18 out of 22 [+4]
