Volunteering = trEAT poorly?

Day 13/14
We switched our Saturday and Sunday of the program because we didn't want to do Kenpo (lame) and only found a TKB at 24 Hour Fitness that worked for us on Sunday morning.  Saturday night we went to a potluck birthday party and my eyes were in heaven.  My ultra sore left butt was able to steer clear of the pizza and fried chicken, but those empanadas, tortilla chips, and guac really called my name.  I'm pretty sure they were also telling me to eat enough to feel stuffed for the first time in a long while.

This weekend was not so great as far as eating goes.  I have been using a free site called MyPlate, that tracks my workouts along with my food intake on a daily, weekly, and longer basis.  I am able to see how I am doing not only in calories, but fat, cholesterol, sodium, sugar, carbs, fiber, and protein as well.  Another helpful tool is the pie chart that shows you how much fat, protein, and carbs you intake per day (which is something P90X stresses.)

Sunday I woke up feeling awesome - I slept for 11 hours!  I was kinda bummed that TKB was so-so today.  The instructor was new (TKB instructors can really make or break your TKB experiences) and she was ok.  But I pushed myself without her help as quite obvious by my tomato red face.

By the end of today I realized just how much volunteerism I did this weekend - Rebuilding Together Orange County with the OC Badgers, pet adoptions with Friends of Orange County's Homeless Pets (FOCHP), and teaching All Stars Sunday School at Saddleback ...so I treated myself to some more of those tasty homemade sweet potato fries on top of that doughnut I had for lunch.  :-)

I think I'm actually excited for tomorrow's workout.
