Good Morning & Happy Memorial Day

First off, I want to say thank you to all veterans and active service men and women. That is what this day is for. If not for your sacrifices, my family would not enjoy so many of the things we do. This will be the first time in 20 years that I am not able to go hug my neighbors neck. He was a POW in Germany for quite some time. He never liked to talk about it, but one year he graciously sat down and talked to Katie for a school project. He and his wife have recently moved to a retirement home due to their health.

For a long weekend, it sure is going by fast. Saturday and Sunday we spent the day in Breckenridge pre-fishing and fishing a tournament. Saturday I did get up and do my workout and even though I did come in below my calorie count for the day, the food choices I made at night were not actually in my best interest. And I also had a drink, a margarita. It was really good but I only had one and drank water the rest of the night.

Sunday, no workout. No way to watch the DVD in the hotel room and I really didn't want to get down on that floor to do some of the workout. I know those are excuses, but I also didn't want to catch something that would make me be down for a few days. I know I get some exercise on the boat, just for all the moving around we do and the balancing we do in the waves trying not to fall off the boat. But that is still not the exercises I need.

I have not recorded my food for Sunday either. I probably came in under my count due only to the fact that we don't eat much when we are on the boat. But that doesn't mean my food choices were good. The lake was pretty choppy because of all the weekend boaters and jet skis and I think that is why I was so sore this morning. I also jumped off the boat onto the ramp to go get the pickup and, up until then, my knees were feeling pretty good. I think that's why I wasn't thinking and did that. Well, they are both pretty sore this morning. I know that is just another excuse.

So because of my knees and my body being so sore, I didn't do my workout this morning either. I know, more excuses. I am paying attention to what I am eating. I had my eggs and toast this morning and it is almost time for lunch. I will eat something good. I have been doing some house work which is exercise too, but not enough. If I can get everyone out of the house, I may try to do some Pilate's after while. I think we are going to the zoo this afternoon so I will get quite a bit of walking in .

Enjoy you holiday, and watch what you eat at all those bar-b-ques!
