Organically Mo: When The Beer Isn't Flowing

Gary & I had been looking forward to this past Wednesday for about a week. The local brewery was going to throw themselves a 1 year birthday celebration with deals for their loyal customers. Our plan was to get there early {between 4 & 5}, drink some brews, eat some dinner and stroll down Main Street.

During my break at work, I decided to check out their Facebook page to see if they had posted an specials yet. Well, I didn't find specials, but I found this:

FAIL!!! Why in the world did I think the celebration was on the 25th?!?!

I was so looking forward to a night off from cooking dinner, but neither Gary or I wanted to spend extra money on dinner & beer when we already knew we would be going there NEXT Wednesday. Plus, my birthday is this weekend, so the festivities {aka the spending on money} will begin.

Gary was kind enough to stop by the store and pick up some lettuce so I could throw a salad together.

I tossed together some salad, chicken cooked in BBQ sauce, chopped walnuts, strawberries and blue cheese. SUPER FILLING!

But there's always room for dessert!

We have been consistent with eating fruit after dinner if we are still hungry. Normally a small handful is all I need to fill my sweetness craving.

Today was a crazy busy day at work. I had to go to Costco to buy enough hot dogs, buns, chips, water, etc. to feed 400 incoming 9th graders on Monday. Buy the end of the work day I was already close to 7,000 steps!

I definitely felt tired and had to make myself go to the gym today.

Guess what?? Once I got there, I did not regret it. Shocking, right?!?!

I played musical cardio machines. First I went on this torturous machine that resembled an elliptical, but felt more like a stair master. I lasted about 5 minutes, then had to get on the treadmill, where I ran half a mile.

I then did the following workout from here:
