Day One Hundred and Seventy-Seven - Great Start to the Weekend

There is nothing like the feeling of leaving work on a Friday.  After a long week it doesn't matter how much you enjoy your job (which I do), there is something relaxing about heading home to be with family and/or friends.  The weekend for me is always a great opportunity to rejuvenate as well as get in some great workouts.  The hardest part of the weekend for me is not being lazy.  When you've been working all week, it is so easy to just plop down in an easy chair and veg out.  I'm not saying that doing that isn't necessary every once in a while (we all need those days where we do nothing but rest), I just hate seeing an entire weekend pass without taking advantage of the time we are given.

We had some good friends over for dinner tonight.  It was really great to hang out and talk to them.  Also, it provided me the opportunity to grill some more chicken and vegetables.  I would have to say that for Bekah and I, hosting is one of our favorite things to do.  It's really cool to see the differences in the food choices (or at least the amounts I eat) when we host now.  I really want to have someone over and make our grilled pizza for them.  I think I've come far enough along our journey to make my grilled pizza and not overdo it.  Maybe I'll make it for one of you reading this?  It really is a privilege to play host, and an honor to have friends to come dine with us.  I'm so grateful for a wife who enjoys it as much as I do (and a daughter who loves having people over).  It's been a great start to the weekend, and I'm losing my butter half.

I had another good day for calorie intake.  I did have a cookie after dinner, but overall I was very pleased with my day.  I didn't exercise tonight.  I am absolutely beat, so I will make sure I make up for it tomorrow!
