Wish I could say it was a GREAT weekend!!

But in terms of health and fitness... it really wasn't.

The retail therapy was good. I got to hang out with my friend Laura in Seattle... went to the IKEA, had lunch and then ran her back to the ferry and spent 3 hours driving back home on Friday... I didn't get my planned workout in which sucked... and then I got really emotional/pms'ey and everything went downhill from there. I'm not going to go into details but there was a lot of beer and empty calories involved.

The one good thing is that Mike and I got to go to dinner all by ourselves on Sunday and it was lovely... tho jam packed with more empty calories.

But its a new week, I have a clean slate to work from and I started things off right. Popped a couple of hydroxycut when I woke up at 20 to 5, slammed a glass of water, threw on the sweat gear and took off for the gym... only to arrive to find a VERY sick Alissa... no worries tho, I really wanted to sweat some of the bloat out of my body anyway, so: 10 minutes on the rowing machine doing 30-45 second intervals, 22 minutes on the eliptical doing 2 minute intervals, and 15 minutes on the treadmill doing 2 minute hills and I called it a workout. I'm already feeling a lot better, but I knew better than to get on the scale this morning. 3 days of crap eating won't cause a whole hell of a lot of actual weight gain, but the excessive carbs plus the PMS bloat will most certainly have had an impact on the water I'm retaining and I really don't want to know the dammage. So I'll weigh on Friday and hopefully things will be back to normal then.

Oh... and one more thing... the cheesecake was SO worth it.
