Egg Fever (the chocolate kind)

My weekend can be summed up in one picture:

At least I started off with good intentions, I ran 7 miles Saturday morning (in the rain). Hardly could believe that I made it that far and survived! Luckily, I ran with a friend which always makes it a little easier (who also happens to be a fit working mom of 3 little ones, 2 of those being 3 month old twins, I call that impressive!) Still limping around a little bit today. And then there was Easter... a great reason to celebrate, great weather, even better food. Which makes this week an important one in getting the diet and exercise back on track, considering I ate my weight in Cadbury eggs!


Here's one of my favorite quotes from Jillian Michaels new book (did I mention I like her??) "Eat great food for eighty percent of your daily calorie allowance and make twenty percent of it treat foods. Willpower will take us only so far, and when we deprive ourselves of the things we really like to eat, the desire for what we can’t have can ultimately, in a weak moment, lead to a binge."

Some people stick to their nice, healthy diet over holidays and maybe someday I will be one of those people. For now I think I will just consider holiday eating the other 20%. I guess there is always the week after to make up for it and that starts today. Maybe I will double up a couple days this week. Oh, and I have got to get rid of the rest of those chocolate eggs. I probably should eat them give them away.
