I survived the weekend!
Good morning!
I survived the weekend - I did not gain a single ounce! Friday night we had an amazing meal for our 11th wedding anniversary. Both of us had veal, but with different sauces - exquisite! We shared a whole bottle of wine, but skipped dessert.
Saturday we drove up to Morin Heights for a BBQ. Despite the TONS of food offered, I stuck to one "sample" plate and loaded it mostly with salad. Trust me - this was a major feat. There were at least 5 kinds of cheese, pizzas, pâtés, oysters, and breads to choose from. I stuck to a half slice of lasagna, a tiny scoop of jumbalaya, and one piece of beef bourgignon. I had a lot of red wine, though, but that's okay.
After the party we drove down to Saint-Sauveur and stayed over at the Travelodge. For breakfast I had one slice of whole wheat bread with peanut butter, a coffee, and a small glass of orange juice. There were bagels and muffins to choose from, but I avoided those. Yay me! We picked up the girls and met my dad for lunch, where I ate 2 poached eggs, one slice of whole wheat toast, and one slice of ham. Not too shabby!
Last night my MIL made a turkey dinner, but I didn't go overboard. I did, however, treat myself to Ah Caramel! cakes. I don't remember the last time I ate chocolate and carmel - to die for!
This morning it was back to the exercise grind. I did 45-minutes of strength training, followed by a 45-minute powerwalk. My inner left ankle is still sore, so I did not jog. Actually, I think I pulled something because my new running shoes are half a size too big. When I wear my old ones, I feel fine.
This morning I decided to lay off the oatmeal for awhile, replacing it with a Vanilla Whey Protein shake. I'm anxious to see if the change will be reflected on the scale. 5 days to Cancun - I really want to lose that last pesky pound!
Have an amazing day, everyone!
