weekend update

I didn't have the best weekend, fitness-wise. No workouts, a lot of food, you know how it is. Mostly, it's because we were busy the whole time...Noah had a music festival Saturday morning starting at 9:00 (but I thought it started at 9:30, so there was some drama there. That smashed-up silver Corolla rocketing down I-45 at 8:45 Saturday morning, with the driver mumbling something about reading the effing note instead of taking the kid's word for it, and also about science's dire need to work on teleportation technology? That was me). That was over by noon, but then I had to run to Sam's for snacks for Noah's soccer game and kid's church, and drinks for Rob to bring to work--I had enough junk food in the cart that it probably looked like I was stocking a concession stand that specialized in diet soda, goldfish crackers, and non-chocolate candy.

Noah's game was at 3:00, then dinner, cleaning, bed. Sunday was church, laundry, a trip to Walmart for clothes Noah could wear to a play, because he apparently throws away his halfway-presentable pants after he wears them or something. Three loads of laundry, and not one pair of pants that he could wear to the theater. Then we picked him up from his friend's house on the way downtown, saw the show, and went slightly the wrong way home. You know, I've lived in the metro area for 7 years now, and I still don't know the best way to get to the freeway from downtown--any freeway. I can get into downtown fine from four different directions, but it's like a big ol' Roach Motel once I get there. I never know how long it's going to take me to get home, and I always end up driving through some seedy neighborhood nine miles out of my way before I find the road that will get me out.

Anyway. We got home okay (mostly because Rob was driving), and the weekend was done. I didn't make the time to work out at all, and I ate whatever was handy or sounded good at the time. Hopefully, today will be enough to detox before weigh-in tomorrow. This morning's number was not at all pretty.

I have the same problem. I can always find my way into the downtown area but never know how to get out. I just drive until I find some freeway and hop on. I've been working on it for 3 years already and it's not getting any better. If you learn a trick, let me know!!
