    It sounds like your Easter is about as exciting as mine. :grumble:
    I'm recovering from some oral surgery last Wednesday & feeling pretty lousy. I didn't realize how much I move my face in a day. And it hurts like a son of a gun when I do. :sad:
    I also didn't realize how many crunchy foods I love.
    The soft food business is getting really old. I broke down last night & had a baked potato & ice cream. I'm really tired of smoothies, yogurt, cottage cheese & pureed fruit. But since I have to go back to work tomorrow I got a supply of that stuff to take for lunch.
    My grown kids didn't come home because they are at their spouse's for the weekend.
    No bunnies around here!
    :frown:

    today is my first 5 (actually 6) k race! my boyfriend and i ran the course last week at exactly 39 minutes, but i'm really hoping my friend and i can run it today in 38 or less. but really? i am just so glad i can do it at all!
    it is grey and overcast so far, but the sun is starting to work its way through. wish us a cool breeze (at our backs!) and luck!
    happy monday everyone!
    (11 days 'til wedding!)

    Good for you!
    :flowerforyou:
    You're doing great!

    I'm still recovering from oral surgery - :frown:
    stinks.
    :sick:
    Anyway, after several days of moping around, minimal exercise, barrels of yogurt & pasta, I'm coming out of my funk.
    finally
    :huh:
    Anyway, I worked out at the gym today, then did 30 minutes on the bike.
    wooohooo!!!!
    And despite all the weird soft foods, I'm still within my calories, but not carbs.
    :bigsmile:

    ran my race yesterday in hothothot sun - it was fantastic! i don't know my time for sure yet, but i do know i was way faster than the two previous attempts!
    tonight i am biking with my regular women's group and we are scheduled to do at least 30 km (about an hour and a half). last week i celebrated at the end with a giant mug of hot cocoa (it is way too delicious here in belgium) but i am totally skipping that this week!
    ok, i am off to change and grab a snack (raisins) before i go!

    oof! i *somehow* managed to complete my whole 35 k bike tour last night with the sorest quads ever! took a much needed day off today to let the muscles heal and then i will be back in the game tomorrow with swimming scheduled in the morning and a run planned for the evening.
    also, hosted a little dinner party to meet some of the staff we've hired for next week - i ate yummy sliced veggies while serving them freshly made chocolate mousse and truffles. i didn't splurge on a single taste!
    oh! and i tried on my "party" dress that i will change into halfway through the reception to keep my "real" dress clean - and it's too big!!! it was pretty tight when i bought it a few months ago, but i was totally shocked. hope everyone gets some nice motivational surprises this week as well!

    i hate eating out when i'm trying to eat healthy. it's a good thing a love fruit so much - i try to carry a handful of dried fruit with me wherever i go!
    yesterday morning i swam 35 minutes with a friend and then jogged another 20 with another friend (at night, in the rain!) = good day!
    i am psyched to share that i have lost 2 whole pounds! i had been stuck around 135 for weeks and was sooo frustrated, but then the scales finally moved! (and in the right direction!) i have been eating a lot of soups and veggies and staying away from all the prewedding treats.
    tonight i am working so i'm not sure how athletic i'll be, but i promise myself not to splurge at the restaurant (i'm a bartender) like i sometimes do!

    Great night at work - stuck to my plan with no sneaky treats! I am so close to my goals and so happy! I know this coming week is going to be hard with my family and friends here visiting (read: lots of eating out and celebrating), but after working so hard I am hoping to at least keep it somewhat sensible!
    Lots of cleaning and work planned for this weekend - that burns calories, right?! :wink:
