Well, we had a good weekend in Columbia at the convention. We ate healthy for breakfast and lunch but went to dinner every night. Ughhh.. The food was so good but so bad. It did a number on my stomach! The final straw was the Chinese buffet on the last night.. I really thought I might vomit when I got home. One too many crab rangoons.. I was so ready to start back on my diet on Monday. The bad news is I gained about 5 lbs. in Columbia. I don't know how it's possible to gain 5 lbs. in one weekend, but I did. I'm sure it'll come off though!
Interesting tidbit... I got hit on by no fewer than 4 creepers last weekend. Most of them were older, portly gentleman. Eww. I suppose I should be flattered, but no. They were just gross. And one of the contenders had a tracheotomy tube thing in his neck.. I kept staring at it as he was hovering over me creepily. Another old man grabbed me and pretended to know me from somewhere. Thankfully, the friend I was standing with gave him a series of dirty looks that shamed him into skulking away. I mean, seriously. I think I look about my age... So did these 40-50+ year old men really think they'd have a shot with a girl in her 20's? Get serious. I'm not that hard up. The one young guy was SO dorky... bless his heart. He was in a short sleeved white dress shirt with high waters, glasses, and his cell phone clipped to his belt. I suppose I could have thrown him a pity bone, seeing as how he was the least offensive of all my suitors... but nah.
On the bright side, I wore three new dresses in smaller sizes that fit well. And I know I looked cute. :) My hair and makeup looked pretty good, if I do say so myself. The only casualties are my pinkie toes... due to the confines of my heels. And then there was the afternoon jaunt to Starbucks that I knew I would regret on my already blistered trotters.. I hoofed it three blocks there and three blocks back, limping all the way. My pinkie toe on my left foot might need to be amputated, but man, that was a tasty frappuccino..
Monday night I walked in the neighborhood. It's actually quite scenic. I walked out of the town homes and into the neighborhood.. and then picked up one little loop of the trail that goes around a pond and up some stairs. And then I came back out to the neighborhood and walked the main circle. I did that twice. I was like 1.56 miles. Not too bad for just walking. I was glad I did it.
Last night we did Tread & Shed. I kinda wanted to ralph, but controlled myself. I think it's the running on the treadmill manually thing that does it to me. Blech. After a quick shower, we went to see Karate Kid. I really liked it. But it was a long movie and we were SO stiff when we finally stood up!
Okay, that's all for now. Happy Hump Day! :)

Still love to read about "Trake!"
Anyway - my excess 5 lbs are now gone, so ... rest assured, yours will come off again as long as you are back in the groove. Was it worth it?! Hmmmmm...it sure was good - but I will have to remember how tore up my system gets after eating out / eating JUNK !!!
Tred/Shed seemed extra hard last night?! The running manually always kills me & last night was no exception. :-P Same time/place on Thurs though, right?!
And yes - You did look VERY CUTE this weekend ... very noticeable !
Yeah, noticeable to the creepers! Glad you lost your 5 lbs! Hope the rest of mine comes off. ;) Yeah, Tread & Shed was hard last night. Hate the manually running thing!
Glad you had fun and had some good eats in Columbia. I saw some of the pictures and you did look great! That 5 lbs will come of quicker than you think. Keep up the great work!!!
