Sunday Weigh In

Same same which is great because Andrew brought home ribs for dinner on Friday night. Our plan is to have a lot of soup this week for dinner.

I am really proud of keeping to my morning walking habit with Sugar.
Also my food tracking habit is going really well.  I have tracked 148 days in a row!!!!

Pouring!

A weekend of bad weather here in Melbourne but that didn't stop me from my time around the Tan this morning. But I am still sick and my clothes were just dripping by the time I got around the track. It was raining so hard at one point I was concerned my headphones would short out!

But I made it.
Wet but done!

Funny Friday

Since my arms are hurting from the gym today - particularly funny.

Can you say you are managing your weight with three desserts in a day?

I went to lunch with a collegue today and we went for yum cha. Since doing this plan, I am pretty good - nothing fried, a few dumplings and I am pretty full.  EXCEPT I still can't resist the egg custard bun for dessert. One order has three dumplings.  There were many times that I ate all three.  I ALWAYS had at least two.

Well...today, I had one. Steve had one. And I actually left one. UNHEARD OF!
So, I took a picture to show everyone how good I am.

HELLO!
I still had one!

But that wasn't the worst of it.
At my next coffee meeting, I had a HUGE ANZAC biscuit.  (Americans - this is a sugary oatmeal cookie.) HUGE
Dessert number two in two hours! What was I thinking.

It was so much sugar that I almost vomited at the gym.

Lastly, I came home and had a hot chocolate for dessert.
Seriously?

THIS IS MY WEIGHT MANAGEMENT????

Sugar is sooooo mad

On the last Wednesday of each month, Araza sponsors a Run Around the Tan. This is what happens:

 - I leave work a tad early
 - Go home and get my work out gear on and grab the dog
 - Fill up my trunk with refreshing beverages
 - Go to the Tan and walk/run or whatever with the puppy
 - Then from 5:30 - 6:30, Sugar and I wait at the Pillars so that Araza team members can drop off their stuff and run/walk.  Sugar and I watch all the backpacks, etc while everyone else does the Tan.

We started this in January.
It was sunny.
It was warm.
Super relaxing.

Last month we had the WARMEST April and everyone was still in shorts.  It was dark but beautiful.

Last night was dark, dark, dark and rainy, rainy, rainy.
But if it ain't raining, you ain't training.
4.5 showed up - Toni, Ben, Vicki, me and Sugar.

Vicki took this stunning picture of Melbourne from the Tan - beautiful.

Sugar does NOT like cold and rain so she was an extremely unhappy puppy. She wouldn't snuggle with me the rest of the night.

Patrick had this on his blog this week and I just loved it. This is how I really feel.
