Oh Chicago how I have missed you. It was a wonderful week at home, but there is nothing better than stepping into your house after a week of living out of your suitcase and just feeling that Ahh moment. I haven't spent this much time at home since Summer break back in college :). Unfortuately there were a few hiccups at home, but everyone is happy, healthy and well fed.
It was a busy busy week. I did my best to see all of my friends and family as much as I could. Here is a quick recap of the events:
Saturday - Iowa City for the game and then back to Des Moines.
Sunday - Lunch with my Dad and dinner with a few friends at Wellmans. We also had a 90210 moment at Jordan Creek mall with my family and Monster's family. Very Peach Pit :)
Monday - Gym, grocery shopping (awesome T Joes in Des Moines!) Sam's tae kwondo (hilarious!) mall and dinner.
Tuesday - Gym, finished grocery shopping, Coach's pizza with Lindsay and Darren. I learned how to play Buck Hunter at Coach's. I would give myself a 2 out of 10. Big time fail!
Wednesday - Gym, prep for Thursday's lunch, lunch with Paige, hair cut, surprise party at Gino's for James! Wellmans for drinks.
Thursday - Cooked all morning, quick lunch at Mom's, lunch at Monster's, back to my Mom's to hang with Maggie Lane. SO FULL ALL DAY!
Friday - Headed to Mo-town for Thanksgiving at my Dad's, quality time with about 20 fam members, Dinner with Monster's fam, card night at Monster's.
Saturday - QT with my mom before she felt sick, Wellman's for the Iowa Game, Mercy West to see my Mom, dinner at Boston's with my siblings, Shannon and Courtney's for a final night out.
Sunday - Trek back home and relaxing all night.
Gosh it was tough to remember all of that! It really was a great time. I love Thanksgiving and what it's all about - Family. We will make a few adjustments next year so we are spacing out meals better.
I would say I did about average while I was home. I got to the gym, ate well Saturday - Wednesday. Thursday I didn't do too bad either. I just think my portions were off from Friday - Sunday. As my stomach grew from all of the meals, I felt like I was always hungry. I also didn't have time to make it to WW while I was home. This gives me a solid week to be strict on my diet and work out plan. I need to get a move on this 30 x 30! September will be here before we know it. Yikes!
My meal plan for the day:
Breakfast - Starbucks english muffin sammy
Snack - 1 point pretzel bar from WW
Lunch - Pockets! I went with my standard pocket order.
Snack - cereal bar before the gym
Dinner - TBD
I need to get to the grocery store this week. I need fresh veggies, fruit and lunch/dinner options.
I have a serious cardio seshy at the gym tonight planned. 50 minutes of sweat.
Have a good Monday.
