Hope everyone is doing well! A quick shout out to Miss Sarah who hit Onederland today!! She is such a huge inspiration to me with her attitude towards healthy weight loss and running, so I was thrilled to see that scale picture this morning!
Let's see - NYC bandsters, we're on for Sunday. Dos Caminos 50th and 3rd at 12:30. Can't wait to see all of you there!
Things are going well for me. The job is getting to be a bit crazy but that's to be expected. I had a great "date" last night with Julia. We went to the MoMA to see the Tim Burton exhibit which was AMAZING! We had dinner there at the cafe - prix fixe meal for $25 + the cost of wine. I had a beet and goat cheese salad, oxtail ragout (short ribs essentially) with gnocchi and a pear crumb for dessert (well 1/4 of it). I gained two pounds. HA! I've gotten to the point where I can't let it get me down. I have to start moving again = C25k week four starts again tomorrow. I have to keep drinking water, I've definitely been slacking there. What I'm finding is this odd paradox:
- I'm getting thinner. Thinner for me = Greater confidence, a desire to get out of my house more, spend time with girlfriends and dream of boys.
- All of this equates to going out in Manhattan which generally involves dinner and/or drinking especially in the winter when walking in the park isn't exactly heartwarming!
- Dinner and/or drinking at some point does indeed conflict with losing weight.
THANK GOODNESS you're starting the detox on Monday instead of Sunday. See you then!
ReplyDeleteLove the chart--too cute!!!
ReplyDeleteOK - Freaking LOL (Seriously) about the chart. LOVE IT! And thank you for the shout out - so sweet! You guys have been so, so supportive - which I am SO thankful for!!! Seriously!!! Can't imagine better blogging buddies... Darn it, I have GOT to plan a weekend in NYC and just hop the train or something!!!
ReplyDeleteI find that too - suddenly two pounds is SO EASY to put on lol... where is the fun and fairness in that. I guess as long as you had fun getting there, then maybe that's the payoff. And you're right - don't let it get you down (speaking for myself too!!!) because you know you will blow it off again. Great chart - had a giggle.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear you're feeling confident lately...it goes a long way when fighting vicious cycles.
