Sticking with it
Well this has turned into a challenging few days. I had my weigh in at JC on Sunday and I was down 1.4 pounds which was great considering it was the middle of TOM. Sunday turned into festival day which was really fun, first we went to one near our house with our friends, I had 2 small pork tacos - not fried so a decent choice. They had a ton of great art vendors, I really liked all the jewelry and ended up buying a bracelet. Then we came home and went to the Whole Foods fest, tons of free samples both to take with and eat there. Still on plan with the no wine. We ended up walking and walking and this was after we had been for a 15 mile ride in the morning. Then we left there to go back to the festival near the house since my cousin's band was playing and his sisters kids were in town to visit and I wanted to see them, they are 13 and 11 and great kids. So I ended up having a couple of wine things - it was called sangria but I think it was just wine on ice with a little fruit but it was fine, better than beer for me. After the fest at 8 we went out for dinner and I had the skirt steak and shared flatbread with the DH but had another glass of wine. Well the next day the scale was the same so that was good but ended up going to my Aunt's for a BBQ on Monday night and then over to a friends house for dinner Tuesday so more wine. Tonight I am finally home and got a good eating day in, 1600 calories. I have been really hitting the biking hard and I am bummed out that I haven't stuck with the eating because I would have seen a big drop but instead I am up 1.5 pounds so I am happy to have had a great day today and need to keep going, I have dinners out planned for every day until my weigh in. Thurs-Sat and then going to Ravinia for the last time Sunday.
I went for 2 rides yesterday and logged 30 miles total 2 hours 15 minutes. Today only 20 miles and it took 1 hour 35 minutes. I am going early for a ride tomorrow and then with the DH in the afternoon. I also got my hair japanese straightened - I am soooo happy, I cannot believe how easy it is now, I love it. No friz not even on the most humid days. I will post a picture some time. I also got an iphone and have been trying to get used to that and all the things I can do. Well I think that catches me up, sorry for the spotty posting I swear I am trying to get to everyone's blogs
