Just to fill you in...

I'm doing thank-you notes tonight. Wrists hurt from writing. Will still have another round after tonight...just...can't...say...thanks...anymore!!!!
Food was good. Today was rest day. My calves wouldn't have it any other way. I stretched good afterwards as they were tight as SOON as I stopped running but to no avail, I guess.
Tomorrow = run and watching some baseball.
I may not be back until Wednesday.

OK, time to 'fess up...

Although, technically NOT my weigh in day - last Monday I stepped on the scale to find myself 5lbs over goal (and 3 lbs above my "get your ass in gear" number). So my numbers on my ticker never did reflect that number. On Friday, I had managed to be down 3 lbs but could not move my ticker as it never reflected Monday's number in the first place. So that is the scoop on how weigh in went.
The weekend in review is next:
On Friday night, we went to the OC and met up with L, J and little P. He is such a riot - just randomly wandering around the mall (with mom close in tow) stopping and waving at random people and just yelling Da-da-da-da. Then he breaks into his dancing. Too freakin' funny. Anyway, my point was that we went out to dinner and I ordered mahi-mahi with mango salsa, rice pilaf and bok choy. I was trying to be good. Sucky thing was, the mango salsa wasn't very good and the bok choy was drenched in oil. Gross! At least I tried!
On Saturday, we went to pick up the bridesmaid dresses (YAY!). Following a speeding ticket on the way there, we decided we needed a drink! There is the neatest little restaurant there and we ate on the patio. I may have had the best drink of my life - a strawberry whip (strawberries, Baileys, french vanilla ice cream and ice all blended together - SOOOOO good!). Then I had an apple/pecan salad and we shared bruschetta bread and spinach dip. Not the best behaviour. But certainly not the worst!
Today, I had a bagel for brekkie, cucumber rolls and shared Pad Thai with John for lunch, and blue menu mushroom pizza and salad for dinner. The thing I'm thrilled to report about for today is that I completed a 11.07 km run in 1hr, 10min. burning 775 calories according to my Nikeplus ipod thingy. I'm SUPER excited about this. I ran by myself as well and that is the farthest I have run by myself. I didn't know if I could do it!!!
Anyway, that about sums it up. I'm hoping I didn't screw up too much this weekend and that I can see my good number on the scale by Thursday.

No cheat day!

What a concept! I have behaved myself today cause I wanted to hold off my weigh in until tomorrow. Things went well again today. Nothing much to report. I was up half the night so I've been exhausted today but finally saw a Dr. and have a prescription for my problem :)
Need to do a long run - maybe tomorrow, maybe Saturday??

I'm back to say, today went well despite feeling a bit like crap! I went wakeboarding on Monday and to say that I'm frickin' paying for it today would be a HUGE understatement. I couldn't lift my arms to get my shirt off!!! BUT somehow, I wiggled out of it and into la running clothes and off I went for my 5K run :) I got the Nike + do-hickey to attach to my ipod and a sensor on my shoe and voila, it tracks my distance/time AND plays music for me! It also all downloads onto the Nike site and I can track all my progress. Exciting to say the least :)

Well...Hi!!!

OK, so this isn't going to be long but I was inspired by Jen's healthy food pics and I actually started to track my food today and I have a plan for tomorrow :) It's been a while since I've done that. I need to kick it up into losing mode for a bit and get back into the groove of things. I'm at my 2 lb-over-goal-limit and need to remedy this. I went grocery shopping and bought some good food and I'm ready to go!
I've also mapped out a run that I need to make happen tomorrow!!! Hopefully it's not humid/thunderstorming!
And wedding wise, I need to go look up a seamstress and make an appointment for some fittings!!
There, that's the plan for the short week!
Today's food:
-ww toast with PB and J (3)
- ww bagel and cream cheese (3), salad and dressing (1), cottage cheese (2), 2 bites of potato salad (1)
- 8 melba toast (2)
- 100 cal granola bar (2)
- soy meat tacos (8), cucumbers and vinegar (0)

Yo-yo

That's me. I've weighed in the last 3 mornings in a row and my weight has varied by 7 freakin' pounds!! I was way down Wed. morning, way up Thurs. morning and back to my usual this morning. I have decided to take this mornings weigh in for this week. It puts me up a pound since I last weighed in but....STILL in goal range!!
My goal for this blog the next little bit is to try and pop in twice a week. Once for an update and once for weigh in results. The wedding is starting to loom over my head (2.5 months to go). AHHHHHHH!!! Maybe I should order some invitations????? I need to get my butt in gear.
In excercise news, all is well. Running 3-4 times a week. The Milk Run is in July and we *might* do the 10K. If not, we're going to do a kick ass 5K.
Going car shopping this weekend. My lease is up soon. Also going to look at tuxes for the wedding. Also need to finalize boat plans for the wedding.
Again, AHHHHHH! is all I have to say. :)

It's a miracle...

So for the last month, craziness has come upon me and I can't even think straight!! Nevermind count points! I have not been counting points but I've been eating a lot of my "regular" meals with a few uncalled for snacks here and there. We are up to running 7km and are consistently running 3-4 times a week.
The point of all of this is that I weighed in this morning AND....I'm 1 lb below goal!!! How exciting is that. I think this whole WW thing has become a bit of a habit. Paired with the excercise, I have been able to stay in an acceptable range without being consumed by it. That is good news because the craziness doesn't seem to be slowing down :)
Sorry for the lack of updates. I will try to get on here more often!
