Beautiful Day for a Wedding

Yesterday was such a glorious day for a wedding! The weather was PERFECT and the bride was absolutely gorgeous. She had on a white gown that had a sash around the waste, like a royal blue tapestry. The sash wrapped around to the back and then flared down into the train. I have never seen anything like it. Of course, it's been a while since I've been to a wedding. The church was beautiful, the bridal party, the reception hall, the FOOD, everything was wonderful!

I had my weigh-in in the morning before the wedding and I'm thrilled to report that it was a VERY successful week. I am now 2.5 pounds from goal! I guess all that running and skating paid off this week.

I really tried to watch what I ate yesterday at the wedding. I had lunch before I went. The wedding was at 2:30, reception at 6:00 which started with champagne, and then cocktails and horderves I tried to stick to the veggies, tasted a bit of caviar (first time), had a piece of bruchetta, and two glasses of champagne, which I had planned on. Dinner was a small dish of penne in like a vodka sauce, then salad with a raspberry vinagrette, and then filet mignon, with roasted potatoes, carrots, and green beans. I did have all my dinner but I'm proud to say I skipped dessert, had with tiny taste of wedding cake and one tiny taste of chocolate mousse.


Now it's back to reality. Another beautiful morning here. I'll be working this morning and then I'd like to get a run in and work in the garden. So with that, I'm out of here!
