Great NSV's!

The alumni from my company get together every year for what they call the "Ghosts" party. It was last night and was the fourth annual event. The first year everyone in the firm got ridiculously drunk (including myself). We actually had an 8:30 staff meeting the next morning and needless to say while we all showed up, many of us didn't make it through the meeting - myself included. No horrible hangover this time, but last night I definitely indulged in more alcohol than I had since surgery. Four lovely glasses of pinot grigio. While they were lovely going down, the headache I woke up with in the middle of the night...not so lovely! I also ate very little yesterday. Had a zone bar around 11am and about 3/4's of an omelette for lunch. Had two french fries for dinner....oops and then the four glasses of wine. Best part was lots of NSV's. A couple of people who hadn't seen me in a while complimented how great I looked, which is always so fun to hear!! 

Found out yesterday that I have to go to Munich for business in two weeks. While most people would probably be thrilled about this, I'm not. #1) I'm a total snob when it comes to international travel and hate the idea of flying overnight anywhere except if I get to recline my seat to the point of laying down. BTW, I've done this once in my entire life. For this trip, I'm flying economy....ouch. No sleeping that night. 2) I'm leaving on a Tue and in order to save expenses, I'm not able to come back until Saturday (cheaper flight than Friday). 3) All of this is for an 8 hour meeting. I know I should be happy. Quite frankly the last time I was in Munich, I was only there for 24 hours, so this is like a vacation. One of the good things is that a colleague of mine has been there for a month, and I'm staying at his hotel so we'll be able to catch up. I can also actually explore Munich and take great photos this time. Bad part...I am so busy with client work, and this is an internal leadership meeting, so just adds more work to my plate. And Munich is the land of beer and pretzels...neither of which I can have!!

In weight loss news, I'm so close to 60 pounds down I can taste it. Oh, and I love that my ticker is just about to make a huge shift. The next few tenths of a pound and I will have lost more than I have left to lose to reach my goal. Exciting!! I'm going to set a goal for Munich. I would LOVE to be 219 by the time I leave on November 10th. That's 5 pounds in a little under two weeks. I think it's doable!!

Hope you all have a great Halloween! xoxo
