Weekend in Review

Last week was a crazy week! I had training away from the class for 3 days and then Science Night in the middle of the week, so by Friday I was tired. I am so glad that I meal prep as it helps prevent me from having slip ups during stressful times, because the Lord knows this would have been the week for it. Sitting in trainings makes me want to snack the whole time and when I get stressed sometimes I want to sleep versus working out, but I went to the gym everyday that I had planned to.

After I got off of work on Friday, Mountain Man took me to pick out my Easter dress at C.C. Belle, they were doing a pay it forward promotion where if you purchased a dress for Easter there then they will donate one to someone. We came home after that and made our traditional Friday Pizzas. We have really gotten to where we like Naan bread for the base. I then added a Garlic and Herb Spreadable Cheese (like Laughing Cow) as the sauce, topped it with my Buffalo Chicken I made in the crockpot and sprinkled cheese on top. I thought it was one of my best pizzas, even the Mountain Man tried it and really like it.

Saturday, we got up and packed some snacks to head out to Dollywood.

We had a gift card to Little River Trading Company that we needed to use and a doughnut place on the top 50 that is located in Maryville that we needed to knock off the list. So we headed towards Maryville and picked up a couple of doughnuts from Richie Kremes Do-Nuts. Their traditional glazed was the one on the list so we each got one of those to try, they were good but my heart still belongs to Sweet Smuckers when it comes to a traditional glazed doughnut. If you are ever in the area, please try them as they are sweet as can be and the doughnuts are good, they were selling out quick. After, doughnuts we stopped to use the gift card, it might be a little store but it is packed with all sorts of outdoor goods and a friendly staff. We looked around forever as they had a sale going on too.

After, that we headed through Townsend into Pigeon Forge. It probably the most beautiful way to enter the area because you have the gorgeous, almost untouched mountains as the backdrop of your ride. We went straight to a packed Dollywood. We thought about turning around, but decided to go ahead and see what shows I wanted to and then we could leave. We grabbed a crepe, watched a few shows, and then left the park to do some quick shopping at the outlet mall. And after that is where I messed up with my macros. We went to Burgerfi to grab a late lunch and I went in without a plan. I knew we would split a burger and assumed we would split fries, which I had macros for. But the hubby wanted a Cry + Fry, which is like 1100 calories and I did not realize it until after the fact. Oh well, I sucked it up and moved on.

I have been too successful lately with weight loss and my workouts to let that bother me like it used to. So Sunday morning I was back at it with a healthy breakfast and hit my macros because it was a new day.
