My Healthy Journey for Better Living

With today being a day to remember, I apparently forgot that I was on a well eating plan. But spending time with my family was awesome. We spent the day playing games and grilling out, enjoying our freedoms that the many selfless people fight day in and day out for us to have.

I went over my calorie intake at the cookout, but only by 415 calories, which was 2 of the Red's Strawberry Ales I drank. Then on the way home, it was so hot we stopped at Dairy Queen for a treat, I order a peanut buster parfait, which is high in calories, but not as high as what I ended up eating. The peanuts were stale and all the salt that accumulated at the bottom of the peanut container ended up on my parfait. It was WWWAAAAYYYY to salty to eat. My hubby being the awesome guy he is scarificed his treat and traded me. Sadly, his treat was a large strawberry shortcake blizzard that scored out at 990 calories- YIKES! So, yeah, today I went WAY over on calories, another week of busting my ass to make up for today. The only up side is that even though I indulged this weekend, up until today I was still in my daily calorie intake. Not to shabby, so I am ok with that.

Thank you to all the men and women that scarfice their lives, families and time to help keep our country safe and free!
