Confession:

Dallas and I went on a much needed date last Saturday night.  We went to the Cheesecake Factory (which was divine) and we spent the most money than we ever have on dinner- $84.  FOR TWO PEOPLE.

I bought two pieces of cheesecake for myself (and to share with the sister in law) and I made them last for FIVE DAYS.  This has to be a world record.

I've only worked out one time this entire week.  Once!  And I haven't even missed it.  Running is making me angry.

I cried so hard reading this blog this week, that I had snot running down my chin and my husband was worried I would need to be committed.  I also laughed just as hard as I cried at different parts.

I'm pretty sure my kids are the funniest kids on the planet.  Case in point:  "Mom!  I finished all of my chocolate ice cream!  Can I have a treat now?" -Annie

I've been trying, and failing, at only eating one treat/day.  I blame it on the cheesecake.

I haven't been in love with training for a spring marathon- even though I don't mind winter running.  I'm ready for some greenery in my life.

Is it possible to go through withdrawals from a TV show?  Because I'm pretty sure I'm having them since Downton Abbey ended.

Speaking of- I actually started to like Mary towards the end.  Say what?!

I want to trade in my speed for endurance like this guy.

I took a 2 1/2 hour nap on Wednesday.

I have a secret drawer....
New Year's Resolution FAIL

Shhhh!  Don't tell my kids.

5 days you made a cheesecake slice last! You are being too hard on yourself lol. It is ok to have treats, and it sounds like your are in much moderation. I have only worked out once this week too :(, but tomorrow will be two. I can imagine the training is hard in the winter- kinda why I did not push to do the Ogden Marathon. Confession- not really- I decided not to do any triathlons this year because I don't want to get burned out. I want to stay in love with "training" because I really do love it. Focus in the running with a little biking- it is awesome for the endurance and strength huh!

Glad your foot is feeling better. Hope you can get back to running soon.

Now that we all know your secret, it's not much of a secret anymore.

I am almost done with the second season of Downton Abby! I only have the finale left!

I love those moments when I realize how clever and cute my kids really are!

Cheesecake would not have lasted that long at our house! I miss Downton Abbey too!

LOVE Downton Abbey!! And I totally loved Mary by the second season too--I even started to love Edith, and I hated her the first season! Amazing show :)
