Yeah! Go enjoy it. 

"Bad" food weekend for me, but c'est la vie. I enjoyed it all and ran 8 miles on Saturday, so I'm not beating myself up. I really enjoyed Saturday night's meal - it was a great dinner out at a nice steakhouse as part of a work function. And the food was excellent. I did refrain from too many "extras" like having only one glass of wine, a nibble of dessert, and not overloading on apps or bread. So I focused on the parts that were really good - filet mignon with risotto - very yummy.

[diablita]

nice work!

I was off the wagon for a couple of days (I think my plastic surgery and derm follow ups freaked me out a bit) but I'm back to it.  And I've worked out every day for the last several.

[cgraz]

Nice, tricia! Woo hoo!

[merigayle]

wtg Tricia!

Diablita-- i think you missed my post a couple weeks ago, but i did go to a new derm, first skin check in about 18 years? and had one biopsy that came back ok. So thank you for the swift kick.

[diablita]

I did miss it.  So glad you went and very happy to read that you're ok.  Were you calm during the waiting period?

I was because she told me not to lose any sleep over it. I really liked the we dr. Thanks again!

Not to make excuses or anything, but I've been a wee bit busy these last few days and have not made time to run due to utter exhaustion. boo. Once we get on a schedule and routine, I'm making it a priority to get out and run.

I SWEAR!!!!!

Eating healthy food requires so much chopping!  Today I chopped cauliflower, zucchini, onion, garlic, sweet potato, poblanos, green onion, cilantro, and radishes.  If I had my own prep cook, I'd get so much more done.   

[diablita]

lol @ SG.  You need your own cooking shoe.

And Tricia, I'm so happy for you.  How are you guys doing with all the big changes?

I am proud of myself. I have made a new plan to run before I leave work in Berkeley at least once a week because the route is hilly and I can run while it is still light out. I have now done this two weeks in a row! Yay for me.

So true! It is the prep that kills me. So much chopping. Sounds like you were making something really good, though!

I made these stacked veggie enchiladas.    http://www.perrysplate.com/2011/03/stacked-roasted-vegetable-enchiladas.html

(The radishes were just for snacking.)

[Run Amok]

How were they?

[cgraz]

Nice, MM! It's great to make a plan like that and follow through. 

Hope to hear more about  how you're doing, tricia...

Those enchiladas sound delicious.

I really like to chop... it's one of my favorite activities in the kitchen.
