Weekend Cheat Days and Arm Veins!!!

This past weekend was very eventful! We have been doing some mini celebrations for my hubby's 40th birthday on Saturday and Sunday. Although it was a lot of fun it also meant having 2 cheat days. I'm usually pretty good when I go out to eat, keeping in mind that it's ok to treat myself and order responsibly. I had a bbq chicken salad at Wood Ranch BBQ on Saturday with the most tasty roll ever! Today I also indulged in some ribs and a slice of delicious chocolate birthday cake. *sigh..so good, but I actually didn't feel so great afterwards. I think my body has become accustomed to healthier eating habits that when I put heavy foods in my belly, it just makes me feel heavy and bloated. Not fun. Crazy how your body just knows what it needs to fuel itself!
Here's a pic of the hubby and me at Wood Ranch:

Tomorrow I'm beginning another challenge. It's only a 5 day challenge, but I'm excited! This one will lead into another 21 day challenge, which I will gladly accept. It just makes working out way more fun! Kind of feels like I'm meeting up with friends at the gym! Also excited because 2 of my friends are joining the challenge too! I am hoping this means positive steps forward for them in the working out/getting healthier process! Wohoo! Small steps lead to giant leaps forward right!!??

Okie dokes, on a side note... my hubby has been noticing that my veins have starting to really pop out lately. I don't know if that's because I lost so much weight or because of working out with weights. Hmmmm... It's kinda scary looking. Haahaaaa.... I'll just take it as a sign I'm building muscle!

Ahhh!!!!

Okie dokes, I'm going to go spend some time with the hubby catching up on some shows, but I am ready to start up again tomorrow and hit it hard this week. Here's my 5 day schedule!
