I am now 1 POUND away from the 20-lb loss mark. This weekend will be quite the challenge to overcome if I'm going to hit 166.6 next week. Today is our 11th wedding anniversary and we're heading out to our favorite Italian restaurant. The plan is to order small quantities and limit myself to one (maybe 1 1/2) glass of wine. Tomorrow we're heading up to Morin Heights / Saint-Sauveur for a BBQ with friends. I will do my very best to limit my alcohol consumption there, too. Wish me luck!
This morning I did my 45-minute strength workout, followed by a 50-minute walk in the rain. I opted not to jog, as I have a painful pull in my inner left ankle. I was going to skip the walk altogether, but decided that a moderate one was better than none at all.
Last night I had my feet scraped - pure bliss for my poor tender tootsies! I'll be walking on air for at least a few weeks. Now all I need is a pedicure - maybe with a little design on my big toes. Gotta have cute feet in Cancun, right?
I started watching The Biggest Loser while eating my oatmeal this morning. I'm anxious to watch the rest, as I will need all the tips I can get to avoid packing on too many pounds on vacation. Since we're going with the kids, though, I'm sure I'll be pretty active throughout our stay.
Have a wonderful day, everyone! Keep safe this weekend.

You can do it!
Over halfway!!! I am sooo proud of you!
you can do this!!! Only 1 more. Go Angel GO!
Step away from the booze this weekend...you know what will happen if you dont. Ok...so dont step away, but limit...
For stopping by my blog! It's really not easy at all to avoid certain foods for me (chips and pasta), so I was soooo proud of myself when I did. I'm not deluded enough to think that I'll always be able to do that. But even watching my portions most of the time is better than none of the time. :) Good luck at dinner tonight, Happy Anniversary!

Happy Anniversary
Happy Anniversary to you! Tell me, what's the key to making it that long without strangling him? :)
I hope Hubby has something nice planned for the two of you!
20 pounds almost wooohooo. I have been stuck at 14-15 for the past year....way to go....hey what about our challenge where are we at? I guess we will find out Monday huh? I will post my loss on Tuesday as that is really my weigh in day...have a fantasti weekend!
Happy Anniversary. 11 years that is awesome. Make sure you enjoy yourself. Diets and weight loss will always be here, celebrating your 11th anniversary will not. Of course I am all for the Italian food:) Your plan sounds solid. I hope you can reach your goal and have a great time.
I hope it was as yummy as it sounded!! I haven't had *good* Italian in a long time. Happy happy anniversary and sending good vibes your way for the lb to disappear quickly for you.
Happy Anniversary!!! Did you have a good weekend?? Did you manage to stay pretty much on plan??
That is so awesome that you are 1 pound away from 1/2 way. Walking in the rain and pushing yourself the way you do is what is getting you to where you are today. You do have determination. And a wonderful vacation in your sight.
