Birthday Week

So tomorrow is my husbands birthday, which naturally makes this his birthday week. Since today is his only day off until next Sunday, it was a great day to spend time as a family. He let me sleep in until 9 (heavenly) while he played with our daughter. Then they both came in at 9 and he said he really wanted to get breakfast at McDonalds and go on a drive down Route 66 - a way we have not been before. I thought it was a great idea, but told him he would have to help me remember to get on the treadmill later in the day... so he gladly agreed and out the door we went (after I checked weightwatchers.com to see what I could eat at McDonalds).

We had a great time on our little drive, and even got to go mudding in our Honda Civic. Good Times! We came home after a few hours and just laid around for a little while. Today was an overcast and chilly day... so it wasn't a great day for a walk. But I did get an inkling go trim down some of the plants in the front yard. So I spend about 30 minutes outside doing that. I didn't realize how much of a workout(?) squatting to trim the plants would be.

After some nudging from my hubby... I got on the treadmill for SEVEN minutes. I know, how lame right? Yes. I was wearing different shoes than I normally wear and I got a bit of a blister on my right foot. Not a very good excuse though. I should have switched my shoes and got back on. So I am I little discouraged with myself, but tomorrow is a new day and I WILL do 30 minutes on the treadmill with the proper shoes!

So by the end of the day I've eaten McDonalds (fruit parfait is really not that bad!) and Pizza.... and I barely worked out. BUT, I stayed within my weight watchers points and spent a fabulous day with my husband and baby. Did I mention that our baby took a 3 hour nap? That was great too!
