Birthday Weekend

I'm in the second weekend of my diet, and am looking at the yet another challenge.  Last weekend, was the long weekend, and I had an elaborate plan on how to get through it.  This weekend, its my wife's birthday.  Needless to say, we will be out celebrating.

In the past, we would celebrate each others birthday for a whole week.  It could  be something as elaborate as going on a vacation or cruise, or just going out and doing something special everyday.  Either way, food was major part of it.  One year, I took her to all her favorite restaurant in one weekend.  This year however, because of the diet, we've decided to keep things rather low key.  A small gathering with friends, another with family and then something romantic with just the two of us. 

Aside from this, I also have a lot of house chores to do this weekend.  Cleaning, mowing, and blah blah blah.  The fun stuff.  So the challenge here is, how do I get this all done?  Celebrate her birthday, get my work done, find the time to workout, eat right and do all of it while showing my wife that she is most amazing girl in the world.  No small task, I know.

The Dreaded Long Weekend

I've been dreading this long weekend ever since I started this journey.  Usually I look forward to time off, like every one else.  However, this time I'm more nervous than anything else.  Why?  Three reasons.

1) Diet - My wife is going out of town to visit her parents this weekend.  Though she has prepared some meals for me to survive the weekend without her, I do need to fend for myself some of time.  Translation - I'll be eating out at least once a day.  Having seen how much of a struggle it has been this past week, to make healthy choices while eating out, I'm dreading this the most.  Plus, my cheat day is also this weekend.  I'll have my cheat meal at lunch, though I haven't decided which day its going to be.  This weekend will be a great indicator of whether I will succeed in this 99 night challenge or not.
