Alright.  I'm back again.  I'm pleased to say that I did better than I expected with my goals this past week.  I kept my treats under 3 (minus a few salt water tafffy's and a few little things, here and there).  I also did pretty good about not eating after 7:30pm.  I slipped up a few times, but over all it was better than I expected.  My exercising was awesome this week.  I ran on the actual race course this week, and I did the 5k in under 34 minutes.  I was excited.  I also decided that my first mile is always the slowest, so I'm going to work on that.  Isn't that wierd that my first mile is slower than my last?  Anyway, I am going to start meeting early on Mondays and run a mile before I walk with friends, so I can time it.  today I got 9minutes and 59 seconds!  Under 10 minutes...WAHOO!  I thought that was a good start.  If I keep doing that on mondays, and still run the full 5k on Wednesdays and Saturdays, then I should be totally ready by August 29th for my race!
Summer is a hard time to diet and exercise with all the vacations, but I guess we can all just do our best.  I leave to Yellowstone on Wednesday, (After I run of course!).  I hope to be able to exercise while I'm gone, and I'm with you Mel- I'll be happy if I don't fall off the bandwagon too.  I always feel like it's a free for all when Im out of town.  Like I can eat whatever I want, and it doesn't matter. 
Unlike Melissa, I didn't loose any weight this week, but I feel it coming soon! 
How are the rest of you ladies doing?
