Sorry for my absence yesterday. I got so busy playing video games I forgot about posting until after midnight.
Today was one of my favorite days of the year. It's my ritual "birthday binge" day. This involves getting tons of birthday freebies in my email, going to the Mall of America, and using them all (all the stores are in one place)! Since most birthday freebies are food, I give myself this one day as the ultimate cheat day. Although my birthday isn't technically until Monday, today was the day I had off of work.
I got up at about 9 today and did a whole hour of Cize. I've moved on to the second routine, which is a lot more intricate than the first routine. Once I got all the moves, though, it was a lot more fun! (Bill might tell you about the time I kicked the couch because I kept screwing up one move, but otherwise it was fun.) We got to the mall about 11.
We kicked off our excursion with a trip to what is arguably the least nutritional locale on the planet: Cinnabon.
I had coupons. And it was delicious.
We then did a lot of walking and shopping under the guise of "burning off" the Cinnabon we just ate. Sure.
Once we got tired, we headed to Buffalo Wild Wings to watch basketball and use my free wings coupon. We sat at the bar for about three hours and made good friends with our bartender. I am now kicking myself (or quite possibly the couch) for not getting a selfie with him. Boo.
After watching our brackets get busted repeatedly (thanks, Michigan State) we hit a couple more stores, grabbed some Dip N' Dots (free coupon!) and headed to Cosetta's to pick up dinner (a large cheese pizza just for me!) We made a pit stop at Cold Stone (BOGO) before heading home to watch St. Thomas make it to the championship game in the D3 NCAA men's basketball tourney.
Not gonna lie, everything was freaking delicious. But I feel gross now. Which is a good reminder why I don't eat all this crap every day.
I still have a bunch of free birthday coupons I never used, because really you can only eat so much in one day. I'm thinking of starting a birthday freebies website.
I ended up walking 14,000 steps and burning 3,000 calories. Obviously I'm not going to add up the calories of everything I ate today. Because that would just be disgusting.
On another obvious note, there will be no weigh-in this week. Today will be a bit of a set-back, understandably, but I will be right back and track and hopefully logging some progress for you guys next Saturday.
Until tomorrow, readers.
