what a fab wknd!

I have to say- this weekend has been GREAT. I lost just about 3 lbs early early on Saturday morning. AND, at that time, hit my 10pound mark since the end of September. I was thrilled about that. I just like nice round numbers. And then, I left the meeting early, to go do the SantaMonica-VeniceFunRun5k.

It was awesome. I'm so glad I dragged my ass up to LA early early on a Sat. We walked most of it and I was planning for a max of 20min miles for an hour finish and we came in about 10min under that, so I was quite happy w/ that also.

I continue to track all my points religiously. It is more effort that I thought it would be, but its starting to become more of a natural habit. I've learned that the more I can get IN the water, the fruit & veggies, and the exercise.... the LESS I let in the bad stuff.

But, on the note of the "bad stuff" ... I remain super proud of myself. Tonight I hosted a "Chrismukkah" Party complete w/ potato pancakes (aka latkes) and a noodle kugle and then we made sugar cookies. SOMEhow, w/ enough planning and knowledge of what points were floating around me, I was able to eat EXACTLY my points for the day. I may have 4oz of golden spoon fro yo for 1 point of my weekly allowance, but green tea may be enough... I'm just so proud of avoiding the over-eating at a gathering like that. That's usually my downfall. But Chrismukkah was super worth every point, and all the planning!
