Big Congratulations going out to the Blue Violets this week for their win!  Great work ladies, you did a wonderful job and deserve all the credit in the world for dropping those pounds like a bad habit! :-)  Way to go!

As for my weigh-in, after my sluggish week last time, this week I saw a 2lb loss, so I am feeling great!!

I missed blogging yesterday because DF was on the computer all day looking for jobs.  He still has his job at the firm, but has been a bit discontented lately, so he’s starting to test the waters and see what else is out there.  I’m glad he is looking around, I want him to find something that will make him happiest, so I didn’t mind giving him use of the computer for the day!

I took yesterday off.  Completely.  I rested after my long, hilly run on Saturday, and I did not count calories at all.  I still ate healthfully, and in moderation - I just decided that Sundays will be my “break” day, so that I don’t feel like I am constantly in diet mode.   It’s actually a really great feeling to be at a point where I know I can take a day off and not go out of control.  I wasn’t even tempted to go “oooh, it’s my off day, I’m going to eat a pint of ben & jerry’s!!”.  I still want to be eating well, so I feel well and stay on track to my goal, but I just want to take my mind off every little calorie.  I felt in control and yet freed from my stringent plan that I stick to every other day of the week.  It was great!

Today I am going to take the dog for a run after work - it’s supposed to be sunny & beautiful, and I am SO thrilled that DST is here, so that it’s light enough in the evenings that I can do it and not be running in the dark.  Then I’m meeting a friend who’s visiting from out of town for a light dinner, to catch up on girl chat.   It’ll be good to see her, we only get together a couple of times a year since she moved away.

Have a great start to your week, buddies!
