A New Day - A New Time!

It's been a GREAT DAY so far.  I am still on a high from this morning's 5K.    It was a run sponsored by the food pantry, I ran it alone since my running partner was at a birthday party, and my goal was to beat our Turkey Trot Time by 5 seconds.  I did it!  Wow, did I ever!  My official time was 29:20, but hubby said he looked at the clock when I crossed the finish, and it was at 29:16.  He said they were having a little technical difficulty.  I'll take either, since our turkey trot time was 29:49.  Either way, I have a new 5K time!  I'm almost under 29 minutes for a 5K!  Yeah to me.



So obviously, I didn't go to my meeting and weigh-in this morning, but I learned something new yesterday.  Apparently, WW is changing their points system (slightly) and dropped my daily points from 29-26.  At first, I was a little annoyed, just because it bugs me that they keep changing it.  However, I realized after about 12 hours that maybe it's a good thing.  I've gained a few pounds and even though I'm "at goal", I'm about 10 pounds from where I want to be.  So maybe by dropping my daily points, I'll get there, or at least drop the 5 that I gained.    So away we go!

Been a busy afternoon.  After the 5K, home for lunch, out to Sam's club, picked up a rotisserie chicken for dinner, and I've got swiss chard and sweet potatoes cooking now to go along with it.  I also baked "a secret surprise" for a friend, and after dinner, the pizzelle irons are coming out (yes, two irons).

Cue the Christmas tunes.  Time to start baking, finish decorating the tree, and get into some holiday spirit!
