So inevitably I didn't get a chance to blog over the weekend so I'm going to be covering the last three days in this one! I had such a busy day at work on Thursday that I was sure Friday would be just as bad, however it turned out to be pretty good. I was training a co-worker in one of my favorite areas to work in and my trainee was on his last day. Due to the fact it was his last day he probably could have done the job alone, so I felt like I wasn't doing much. Also, it ended up not being busy at all. I guess it was the break I need after the crazy day on Thursday! I managed to leave work right on time and got home around 4pm. I was glad because I was still hoping to get an early start for my twin sisters house.
Once I got home I took a shower then folded the laundry from the day before while starting to pack. This weekend I was going to my twin sisters house for the annual sister Yankee game. My fiancé arrived at my house around 6:30pm and we were on the road around 7pm. We were the last to arrive at my twin sisters house and we weren't there very long until the pizza arrived! There was a lot to eat including pizza, wings, garlic knots, and my twin sister made a huge salad. I tried to eat a lot of salad as not to fill up on the other more fattening items and I did pretty well only eating one slice of pizza. However, I did indulge in plenty of beer, wings and garlic knots:( After dinner my sisters and I spent the night discussing the bachelorette party as well as making two posters for the Yankee game. The significant others were outside making a fire.
The next morning I woke up around 10am and had a cup of coffee prior to taking a quick shower. My twin sister and her husband made a huge breakfast for everyone consisting of home made cinnamon buns, eggs, bacon, grapes, kiwi and mango. I ate a ton and everything was fantastic. I couldn't believe how quickly my twin sister made those cinnamon buns and they were perfect! After breakfast we had to get ready to catch the train in time for the game. We gave ourselves an hour to get to the train station on time and we didn't make it:( The first thing which slowed us down was when we stopped at the local gas station to pick up some beer for the train as well as some cash from the ATM, the alarm on my sisters car started going off. Apparently, my Brother-In-Law locked my twin sister in the car and when she went to open the door it set the alarm off. Unfortunately, the key fob which they had was broken and in need of a new battery, so a tool kit had to be taken out in order to get the beeping to stop. That didn't work because when they tried to turn the car on the beeping started again! Finally my oldest sister, who was driving separately with my second to oldest sister, drove back to my twin sisters house to get the spare key fob. That actually worked and we were all finally on our way, still with plenty of time!
The second hurdle was that we ran into a huge amount of traffic which was going to make the 10 minute car ride turn into 30 minutes and we knew we weren't going to make the train at that point. So we ended up driving to the trains first destination and only our car made it on time:( It was so frustrating because there was a huge festival going on, so there was no parking spots at the station and that's the only reason my older sisters didn't make it to the train. I think we took the very last spot! So me, my fiancé, my twin sister and her husband took that train so we could get to Yankee stadium before the game started. I felt very bad leaving my older sisters at the train station but they only ended up missing the first 20 minutes of the game. The game went by very fast and it was a wonderful time. I ate some snacks, had some beers and ate a hotdog before the game was over. We ended up not getting home until around 11pm because we had to wait and take the later train. My twin sister heated the pizza up from the night before and I guess I was very hungry because I ate two slices! After we ate we played a game and then everyone went to bed.
This morning I woke up around 10:30am and once again my twin sister and her husband made another wonderful breakfast. They made waffles and we also had the cinnamon buns with the left over eggs from yesterday. We spent the morning talking and then my older sisters both left. We originally were going to spend the day at my twin sisters house but since my fiancé and I haven't really been home much, we decided to head back early. When we got back it was around 4pm and my fiancé started making marinara sauce so we could have a spaghetti dinner. I figured I'd get back to my diet tomorrow! While he was cooking I put a load of laundry in and then took a shower.
I thought I did a pretty good job this weekend of not over washing my hands. It can be hard on these Yankee trips because we take the train and it's never very clean. I can't believe how fast the weekend went and I'm a little bit down that the Yankee outing is already over. I have a feeling I'm not going to be in the best mood tomorrow, but there's a lot of fun weekends ahead of me this fall and I'm going to try to keep a positive attitude. I'm also going to get back into working out and I'm actually looking forward to doing that. When I get home from work tomorrow I'm going to try to do a longer workout and really start taking this diet seriously. Alright, that's all for now!
