40 and Tennis!!

I hit 40 today and am thrilled! Never before would I have imagined that I'd be able to lose 40 pounds in eight weeks. This band is the biggest blessing. It helps with portion control which has always been my biggest issue and also the fact that I would eat so fast that I would think I was still hungry and go back for seconds. But now, I eat slower and less.


I went to the U.S. open today. Was supposed to be yesterday but it was rained out. So now I'm home and I'm purple from a sun burn and headachey from the sun...literally beating down on us all day. BUT it was such a fun time. Great tennis and when the breeze hit, the weather was amazing. I wasn't even concerned about eating. I ate breakfast before I left and after being there for a couple of hours I got a grilled chicken cesear wrap and ate about 1/2 of it. Was perfectly satisfied and drank 3 liters of water.  SO hot! I went with two thin women who ate pretzels and crepes....and me twice their size ate 1/2 of a wrap.  CRAZY!


Oh in addition to tennis, amazing celebrity watching today. Wanted to list them so I'd remember....Paul Simon, Charlize Theron, Stuart Townsend, Anna Wintour, Justin Bartha, Ashley Olsen, Hayden Christensen, Rachel Bilson, Jack Nicholsan, Lorne Michaels, Gwen Stefani, Gavin Rossdale and my fav JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE! Those celebs like their tennis! ;-)
