Before After

Avoiding the bunny

I did it!  I successfully avoided chocolate bunnies this year.  Yahoo!  Whoopee!  That was all I avoided.  I had a vacation over the weekend and I ENJOYED every minute, bite and drink of it.

Yep - I intentionally ate off my diet most of last weekend and I'm back on today with no regrets.  I spent my weekend at the house in Mendocino, CA with a girlfriend who is moving back to Austin this week and we enjoyed ourselves all over the North coast at diners and wineries.

I ate (yep - just to make you jealous) Two hamburgers, an entire dungenous crab, a hot crab sandwich and a cup of clam chowder over the 4 days.  Doesn't sound like much, but boy, it was delish!  I also ate lots of salads, my JC breakfasts and fruit every day to round out and make sure that I avoided cravings.

We also went wine tasting.  Too bad for me - I didn't have the taste for wine this time around so I did alot of sipping and little drinking. 

For exercise I ran my friend's three dogs through the fields a couple of times, ran them around a few wineries after being in the car for too long and ran them again at the dog beach in Fort Bragg.  I doubt if I ran enough to work off much of my indulgences, but nevertheless I did move and I had fun and I was outside.

We've officially hit 101 days of rain this season in the San Francisco Bay Area.  Thank goodness for waterproof boots and dogs who don't care about weather to run with - I needed to get out and just release some pent up energy from sitting indoors for so long!

I weigh in tomorrow, and I really don't care whether I gained or stayed about the same.  Instead I'm looking forward to the weather clearing up so I can get outdoors more often.  I'm looking forward to putting in my summer veggie garden and coming out of the winter cave I've been in for so long.

I'll check in again soon.  For now, enjoy your day!

Sounds Relaxing!

Your vacation with your friend and her dogs sounded wonderful! Sorry that you guys are still waterlogged out in CA! That must be depressing after a while!

You made some great choices, foodwise. Eating your JC breakfast, having salads and even your dinners were really not bad at all! You should be proud of your strides to eat more healthy! Think of all you would have eaten if not on JC!

Real life is about enjoying it and having celebrations. It seems to me like you had a lovely, relaxing sendoff with your buddy and her dogs! I think your exercise burned more cals than you think!

Have a great WI today. Keep chuggin along. 18 pounds lost is awesome! Don't ever forget that!

wow!

Girl, your life sounds so cool!  I'd love to see your scrapbook!  I'll bet it's amazing!
