Week 14: Day 3

This morning, I had my follow up interview with Learning Rx. It is this really cool company in Charlottesville that teaches cognitive skills to struggling kids. I applied for the part time position of a trainer and got to actually go and see the center. It is adorable- totally kid friendly and professional. Anyway, I think it went well, I'll know for sure tomorrow.

I made a mango, apple, peach green monster this morning for 2pts. It wasn't as good as when Jamie made it, but it was still alright.

After the interview, I stopped by home and got my WW materials and went to the 12:00 Wednesday meeting. Wow- I don't think a meeting or demographic could be more different from the group I go to!! I miss my Monday night weight watchers!! Oh well, at least I got it done. I'm down -.8 lbs this week for a total of 22.4 lbs. It was a lot more than I thought (I thought I went up this week), but still not good. I'll take it.

At the meeting, I bought these pretzel, caramel, chocolate snacks and had one for 1pt.

Here's my progress chart (from WW eTools)

When I got home, and ate lunch of 1/4 recipe of goat cheese and asparagus pasta for 6pts. I don't think eating this every day will get old at all. I graded papers while eating.

I did my C25K W4D1 run. It was not as hard as I thought it would be, but....I thought it was going to be like climbing Everest. Running for 5 mins is a loooong time for me- mainly mentally. At home, 5 minutes of cleaning, putting on my make up, 5 minute showers....5 minutes seems so short! But on a treadmill, man, 5 minutes lasts forever...then oddly, half of that (my walking time of 2.5 mins) doesn't seem like I have time to blink before I'm running again. I think developing mental stamina is part of training to run.. We'll see.

After that, I picked Matt up from school, took a brief nap, and went over to Cait's to say hi. We ended up eating dinner at Trinity and having a few drinks :) For dinner, I had an organic turkey burger on a wheat bun with guacamole and tomato and a TON of fries. I kept thinking, I'm not going to eat this whole thing, that's a ton...I cut the burger in half- but then I ate both halves. I tried to push some of the fries off on Cait, but she wasn't having it, so I ate them...all. Wow. My steel resolve from the WW meeting to loose more weight this week didn't last long.

I'm guessing 9pts for the burger and 7pts for the fries. I also had a Stella 3pts. And wine at 3 later for 6pts.
