Weigh In Wednesday (with a side of Tim)

It's the final day of this venture....or is it?  I don't think you can really end a "get-in-shape, get-fit"adventure after a night of copious amounts wine and 3 Stellas and a sirloin Oscar at the keg and mud pie.  I don't think you can call it quits after a night out with Tim and the girls, a night that ended with me calling a stop at McD's on the trip home.  Did I really do that?  When did I become such a lush?  It seems to be a bit of a tradition when Tim comes to town to let down my hair.  This morning I remember why I don't do that often.  But man, he is so worth it! 

First, let's "weigh in" on the concert.  Like Brand, I LOVE HIM!  I love him more every time I see him.  I like him better when he DOES not bring his little sidekick, Faith, with him.  I like him as one of the boys up there and he wowed me!  I don't even know which song was my fav anymore because I must have leaned over to the girls a hundred times to declare, "No, this one is really my favorite".  I woke this morning, more than a little groggy I admit, with Tim ringing in my ears.  I hope this was not the last time that those tight jeans visit our fair city, that man gets better with age. 

Ok, so the weigh in.  For the first time in 12 weeks, I am up.  I knew I would be after the near starvation efforts to win the contest at school.  As soon as I returned to normal eating, healthy but normal, I put on 4 pounds.  Water weight or it could actually be that we have had event after event this last week.  Book club, who's the wise one that made so many appetizers in her own home and then actually enjoyed them with her friends, imagine that?  Katie's birthday.  Dinner with the in-laws.  Night out with Tim and the gals.  I have also been easing my knee slowly back into things. I pushed it a bit last week and felt the familiar nag of runner's knee.  Rather slow down for a week instead of being shut out completely.  I am a tad bit disappointed to end the challenge on a sour note.  The thing is I'm not really sure I'm ready to end.  I feel like I would like to keep at it for a while.  When I set this goal, which I did reach, I didn't really think I would actually get there and then as the time get ticking and I was getting closer, I became fixated.  It became a totally manageable feat and I think I work well with a goal in mind.  I learned a lot about myself, I learned a lot about food.  I am thinking another 10??  I don't know exactly, I do know that you can't just go back to old habits, managing weight loss is as much a challenge as the loss itself.  So, I'm keeping "Weigh In Wednesdays".  It may not be the exact same format but it will be a weigh in on progress, on challenges, on successes, on food, on fitness.  I have had comments via blog and in person about people following along and checking in on Wednesdays.  I am so grateful for all your support, I truly would never had the accountability factor that I had with our readers.
