Its all relative...

So, I had a good week! I worked out relatively hard and ate relatively well... until Saturday.


Saturday I had a good hard run, followed by an evening with WAY TOO MUCH wine and snacks... so when I stepped on the scale to a zero change, I was not exactly unhappy.


I'm glad to know I can maintain! But that's not my focus.  I need to lose.  I have 13lbs to go.  I can do this.  One thing I cannot do is count calories when I'm intoxicated, so this needs to be the last time I deal with intoxication as well as temptation.


The loss on the scale is worth so much more than the hangover I endured... Another lesson learned.



WEIGHT CHANGE 
NO CHANGE 

HOW MANY LBS TO GO
13lbs

GREAT HEALTHY FIND OF THE WEEK
Pho with Candace.  Asian restaurant with AMAZING spicy soup... it was delicious and filling and healthy!! If you're looking to eat healthier food, you don't have to LIMIT your options, rather, expand your taste-buds to other cultures... what you find may surprise you! I'm glad miss Candace  talked me into this one!

INDULGENCE OF THE WEEK
As if the wine wasn't bad enough (approx. 200cals/glass) I also had WAY TOO MANY pieces of pumpernickel bread with spinach dip and snack cookies Saturday night.  To think... I ran 8 miles in the pouring rain on Saturday, with hill work halfway through the run for THIS?

COMMENTS ON ANY FEEDBACK FROM THE PREVIOUS POSTING
I am so excited that many of my friends are focusing on getting and staying healthy... My best friend will be back to running soon, and it appears there's a number of us running in the Miracle 10-Miler in April!! All of your efforts help keep me in check.  Thank you for leading by example!

  1. ugh...no change here either. Shouldn't complain after eating every 2 hours at the conference, I am lucky it is not plus 10lbs. Oh well. Back to the gym.
    You are doing awesome with the running.
    Have you done the Miracle 10miles before?
    If not, be warned, you will be doing the steepest hill in Malden Park (Big Bertha) 3 times. I will be there but will do the 5km.
