Spaghetti Arms

Now I'll start by saying I made terrible horrible no good very bad eating choices this weekend, but I had a great time with some great company and that always wins for me. Friday night was spent a few houses up with my favorite neighbor, Jess, for a girls night. This included BBQ from an awesome place in our little town, a few beers and Mean Girls (which I hadn't seen in forever)! Oh yeah, and some snuggly dogs, not unlike mine. It was exactly what I needed after what felt like a never ending week!

Saturday afternoon we went on a Saturdate. Our friends Melissa (blind date #2) and Lee took a break from producing my favorite tear jerker wedding videos and met us for a double date! We met for a movie at the most crowded mall I've ever seen where I'm convinced someone was giving away happy endings or something equally amazing that would draw such a crowd.  After dinner we got some burgers and beers (told you, bad), then walked around a casino aimlessly while I sang, "One of these things is not like the other ones…" in my head.  Those places are incredibly weird as are the crowds they attract.  The machines wouldn't take my money, even when I tried.  To each his own, but gambling is not for me.  But lucky for Ben, he got a picture with princess big bird with which to remember the evening.

Sunday was nice and laid back, we took down our Christmas tree, don't judge me.  We only did it because we were having company over, hah!  We cleaned the hell outta the house and had some friends over for our typical mystery meat dinner.  We each pick a meat and a side and hope we don't make the same thing.  It's a fun game, usually more fun when it involves grilling!  Our friends brought flank steak and asparagus.  Ben and I made some crazy nachos and crock pot meatballs!  It was perfect and everybody's pee smelled funny.

This morning I went to the gym for some cardio, back and biceps.  I was telling Ben this morning that I lifted heavier than I had in a while, which had me super excited!  I had wobbly arms when I went to eat my breakfast this morning.  I anticipate waking up tomorrow with a serious case of spaghetti arms!  I can't wait.  I seem to get stuck in this mentality that I can stop being careful about what I eat on the weekends because I'm exercising and eating well during the week.  Unfortunately, that mindset will keep me exactly where I am, which isn't exactly where I wanna be.  So here's hoping I don't wreck this week's hard work with a weekend of reckless eating so I can make some progress!  Happy Monday!
