Yesterday was pretty active, too!  I went to the gym, Nora and I had breakfast and then went to the grocery store and gas station.  After that, we came home and took a vigorous 3 1/2 mile walk/uphill climb.  When we got home, we worked in the garden for a bit then took a shower.  Nora went down for a nap so I finished up some laundry and did a little more gardening.  After Nora woke up, we went to Best Buy to buy 'A Bug's Life', or as Nora refers to it, 'Bees'.  We came home, cooked dinner then went to Pier 1 with my mom.  Came home again, then relaxed and went to bed! 

Today, I woke up around 7ish (yay for sleeping in!), made a big dish of layered Protein Mousse(layers of mousee, strawberries and sugar free Cool Whip) to take to a cookout today, did some gardening before anyone woke up, then after Nora woke up we visited with my parents for a bit and then did some more gardening.  Right now, we're relaxing in the house trying to get Nora to take a nap.. although it's not looking very hopeful lol.  Oh well, we have a long drive today!  We'll work in the yard a bit more then get ready to head to a Crowdus cookout in Campbellsville, KY.  I'm going to do my very best to make healthy food choices at the cookout (at least I know there's a healthy dessert :) ).  I may try to sneak in a walk before we have to leave, but we'll see.

I'm pretty excited for my weigh-in tomorrrow :)  I've taken a lot of walks this week and have been doing pretty well with my nutrition.  (aside from the 2 cookies I had at the work cookout Thursday. FAIL, I know - still kicking myself!) 
Well, we'll see when I report on Monday!!

Have a great weekend everyone - get outside and do something!! :)
