Day 4: Interrupted. | Day 5: Back in the Game!

Alas, I'm sorry to report that day 4 was moderately altered/postponed. It wasn't planned, but I can't say I would have changed it :)

As many of you already know, Joe's Air Force base assignment is Scott AFB in Illinois. He moved all of our belongings up a few weeks back and started work/school. I'm here awaiting the hire of my replacement and then I'm heading up to join. I can't wait.

Soooo.. he is there, and I am here.

On Friday [Day 3 of 17], I spent the majority of the evening w/ KP, Brittany, & Cameron. [See prior blog].
We resorted to a redbox rental in lieu of going to a theater, especially since dinner didnt' end until nearly 10pm.

What I didn't realize......

My husband drove 6 hours to surprise me for an entire weekend.

Jealous?

-- I would be. :]



Reds Game | 4.16.11



I walked in the door and nearly ran right into him.

Long story short, I ended up blindfolded in the front seat as he drove us to the Hampton. He had a full weekend planned out- everything from a Red's game [best one I think I've ever attended, btw] to an IMAX of Tornado Alley.

So all in all, the primary purpose of that story-hour was to remind myself that I have the most incredible husband ever created. The secondary, and more relevent purpose, was to say that there wasn't much compliance with the diet plan on Saturday. What can I say? It's difficult to drink a kefir smoothie on short notice while at a Red's game. It's downright cruel to refuse dinner out on your husband when he's just driven across the majority of the midwest for no other reason than to simply spend two days with his wife.  

I'm sorry.

Good news: I picked right back up where I left off when we got home this morning. Call it a merge of day 4 & 5. Additionally, when I say I fell off the 'diet' trip for a day, it wasn't as thought I hounded down any metts or $5 pizza.

Soft pretzel w/ cheese.

Popcorn.

Crepe [nutella, fresh coconut, almonds, fresh raspberries]

Veggie burger from Uno's.

Steamed broccoli.

Reallyyyyy... not as bad as I could've done.

Either way, as much as I didn't wish to stray from the food regimen, it was worth it.

Honesty. :]

Back to it, now. Kefir smoothie, salad, eggplant parm.

Let's get this week started right!

xo.
