You're not the only one! :) I had a few beers, but think it was more Run & Diets that did me in. I actually didn't overdo on the toasted marshmallows like I normally do, so I feel pretty good about that. But camping/bbqing/celebratory meals added up to *a lot* of food. I figure it's kinda like buying a Coach purse. It doesn't reaaaaaalllllly fit into my budget, but it makes me happy to have. So I make it work and after I have my new purse happily in hand, I can go back to my stricter budget.

Ooo... I'm digging the analogy here. I'm thinking I'm going to have to run with this :)

I read that comment in my dad's old diary from the year I was born. And have heard it said numerous times lately :) Seriously, we did. The live well in the boat Sunday had 12 beer cans, 0 fish.

Jess - what kind of fish are you hoping to catch?

SJCORAY, I'm so glad I'm not the only who compares unrelated things to buying a Coach. I thought I had a purse fetish. I stocked up on so many pretty looking, but cheap, purses and I have a closet full collecting dust. I stretched my budget to buy my first Coach this past winter. You know what? My purse shopping bug is almost non-existent. It is like dieting. We've been gorging ourselves on pretty, but unhealthy food, instead of sticking to quality foods that produce better, long-lasting results. I did well this weekend, but that's because our BBQ won't be until Wednesday. I'm going to stick to my Coach diet :)

You aren't alone! I completely let go of anything relating to common sense. I ate myself silly and drank beer all weekend. :)

There are 2 coach outlets pretty close to where I live (never buy them regular retail, you get a ridiculous discount at the outlets) - and I have *avoided* going into them for a while now. Maybe it's about time for a treat for my shoulder :D
