Reunited and it feels so good!

Aww diet, it's so good to see you again.  We have been at odds with one another for the last two weeks and I almost got the best of you, but now all is well again!  This weekend was completely therapeutic and much needed!  I spent the entire day Saturday in my pj's watching TV, playing on the computer, taking naps, and basically being a HUGE couch potato.  I did pretty good on my diet that day despite my lack of movement and stayed under 1800 calories.  Amazingly I was still tired enough to sleep Saturday night and awoke Sunday morning ready for life!  We had a great service at church and even treated ourselves to all you can eat spaghetti for lunch.  I behaved myself and had a cup of soup, 1 1/2 pieces of garlic bread and about 1/4 of my small plate of spaghetti. In true Sunday fashion, we went home and took a little nap!  I've slept more this weekend than the past week put together!  After my lazy day yesterday I felt the need to be a bit more productive so I did several loads of laundry, rearranged my closet and moved my winter clothes out and my spring/summer clothes back in.  We attended evening church again and when we got home I whipped up some braised artichokes and baked asparagus with a little hollandaise sauce.  Then for a treat for the hubby I made a blackberry pie with some fresh blackberries that were on sale at the store this week.  All in all, it was a splendid weekend and I cheated a bit and let myself eat a bit more fat than usual, but kept my calories around 1800 a day. 

All in all, I only gained back 3 pounds from my little binge the last couple of weeks although if I was guessing I'd say I lost a pound of muscle because I haven't worked out either.  Tomorrow is a new week, a new day, and little less than 7 weeks until the cruise!!  My goal is to try and lose at least 10 pounds before the cruise and fit back into a little black dress I bought back in high school and wore once or twice.  I tried it on today and was able to zip it, but it was less than flattering.  It's going to take at least 10 pounds and a new pair of spanx to get that baby looking great and I'm up for it!!  Now all I need is prayers for tomorrow as I hit my first boot camp workout in a little over 2 weeks.  I'm going to be sooooo sore!!
