day two

With Mike's family coming in around noon, we got our butts to the gym around 10 for a 1.5 hour workout of 2x12 minute abs, a sweaty 30-min bike ride, and chest back and leg machines to finish it off.  We picked up some healthy snacks at the grocery store and headed home.

The difficulty level increased immediately when our visitors arrived with a big bag of delicious homemade chocolate chip chocolate cookies!  (Am I supposed to turn those away?)

Problem solvers: a healthy chicken, pepper and marble cheese sandwich for lunch, and shredded slow-cooker salsa chicken burritos for dinner with avocado, rice, peppers and cheese!  I did sneak 1 cookie for dessert, but managed to kind of curb my craving for 100 more by splitting the cookie into 2, and diving into a couple of clementines after to appease the ol' sweet tooth.  Crisis (mostly) averted!

We also squeezed in some extra exercise on a family trip to the dog park, then again in the backyard goofing around with Mookie and Tenzi!  I was also a bit blown away by being down about 1.0 lbs from yesterday.
