YES!

I went for my longest outside run today in a while. I was really stressed out and didn't want to go, but decided to at the last minute. Granted, it wasn't very long, but it was the small push I needed to start again. Stress relief and a good run! :D I'm ready to take on the world now...

I'm horrible

at keeping up with this blog-thing lately.
So far this week, I worked out Sun, Mon, Tues and yesterday. Decided to take today off and hit the gym or go for a run tomorrow. Yesterday's weigh-in was a gain of a pound, but who knows why. I'll weigh in again tomorrow if I go to the gym. (See, I'm getting obsessive about it.) When I was visiting lala, I think I weighed myself at least 3 times a day.
The good news is, I'm finally almost finished eating my bday desserts and then I'll be back to no sweets in the house. Buttermilk pie can't be all that bad for you, with all that dairy, can it? And more good news--I finally have been going for longer and harder runs, which has been feeling great! (Well, after, not during.)
Lots of news lately about red wine being good for you, especially because the French are so healthy. I'll give some credit to wine based on research, and mind you, I've never been to France, but I'm going to go out on a limb and say they have much more active lifestyles than the average American. We'll do anything here to be able to drink more booze. Hey, I'm all for it :) Just kidding MOM!

Guess Who Lost Two Pounds

MOI! And that's just since Sunday!

And, despite yet ANOTHER 12 hr work day, I did go home and make some Italian Wedding Soup last night, because I ran out of turkey breast and cheese slices (which was my dinner Monday & Tuesday nights).  The soup turned out pretty well, except a little chicken-brothy.  Maybe next time i'll use half chicken broth half water or something.

I'll post the recipe soon so you can try for yourselves.

I am glad this is working, though.  Since I just ordered a bridesmaid dress one size smaller than I probably should have to avoid a $25 extra fee.  (I call BS on that one)

Also, thanks for sending the marshmallow fluffies, Mommy!  Although,  I can't partake until Sunday, since it is processed food.  :(  :(
