Week 6 Weigh in - And Stuff!

I had a fantastic week. My body bounced back from the New Mexico trip to a 3 lb loss, bringing me to a total of 12.4 lbs lost. Woohoo!

Other news:

I have the bestest boyfriend in the world. We'd discussed him selecting some Pandora charms for my existing charm bracelet (which I wear daily) as awards for 15 lb losses (I will have 3 to get to goal). I thought he forgot, but there was a wrapped package on the nightstand at his place the other day. I haven't opened it yet to see what he got me, because I haven't made it to 15 yet, but I'm very close. Only 2.6 lbs to go. Maybe next week?

I signed up to run in the Dad's Day 5K on June 20. I'm very excited. This will be my first ever 5K. I should be pretty far along in the C25K by then, so I expect to be capable. I might have to upgrade my running attire by then.

Aaaaand I'm jetting off to Las Vegas tomorrow. It's an annual thing that my office does. I'll be attending a convention and going to lots of parties and cocktail events. I've packed my running clothes, shoes, and a small camelbak. I'm hoping to squeeze in a run on Wednesday night and Friday morning. I should be able to run with Lucy again on Sunday night. If I stick to this schedule, maybe...just maybe I'll actually be able to start a D1 in the Beginning of the week instead of halfway through.

I'm going to work very hard to make good choices for breakfast and lunch, and I plan to avoid the munchies they pass around in the cocktail hours. I'm less adamant about dinner though. We'll be dining in 2 very fancy restaurants (paid for by product reps) and I intend to enjoy the high end cuisine. I'll be doing plenty of walking, dancing, and (hopefully) running, so any major calories should be offset with activity.

Can't wait to see you at the Dad's Day 5K! It should be a lot of fun.

Good deal on taking along the running shoes on your trip. Enjoy yourself!

Congrats on your weightloss, that's awesome! I'm in Houston, too, so I might look into that 5K - I've been wanting to do one but I doubt I'll be able to actually run it.

Anyway, enjoy your trip!!
