Happy Holiday Weekend

I had a nice run last night around my neighborhood. I ran from my house to 111th and Longwood and back (about 4 miles I think). I struggled through the first mile or so, but the run back was smooth sailing.I feel pretty confident that I could post a respectable time in the Ridge Run if were going to do it. Unfortunately, I already agreed to walk with my friend M.

Today I plan to go to a yoga class at lunch time. I haven't been to yoga in about 3 months, so this should be interesting.

On the nutrition front, I think I did okay this week. I indulged my sweet tooth a couple of times, but no major catastrophes. Yesterday for lunch I had a really yummy salad from Nordstom's Cafe (mixed greens, grilled shrimp and a cilantro lime vinaigrette). But then I had a seven layer bar for dessert. Dinner--a small portion of linguini with puttanesca (sp?) sauce and a small piece of sauteed halibut. (yum yum!)Oh, I forgot...I had pizza on Tuesday. ugh.

A holiday weekend is always a challenge on the food front. I'll probably fire up the grill tomorrow and maybe again on Monday. We are going to my mom's on Sunday, where there is sure to be a feast--ribs, chicken, potato salad, baked beans, corn on the cob, the works. Hopefully, I can stay focused and not overindulge.
