My daughter left for her school trip to DC today. She was excited and I'm sure she'll have lots of fun, but I'm hoping the rain lets up for them while they're visiting some of the memorials and monuments. We dropped her off at 1:30 a.m., so it's going to be a long, sleepy day. I opted for a little caffeine this morning and had coffee instead of my decaf green tea.

I had a great weekend. Yesterday was a test for me with the diet because we had the BBQ for lunch and we ate out for dinner. I brought a couple of things with me to the BBQ so I was full and not tempted to grab something I shouldn't have. The BBQ really didn't bother me not to eat everything that everyone else had, I didn't feel deprived at all. But, eating out was harder. We went to Perkins (breakfast served all day) and I thought about getting something with eggs, but I knew I'd be tempted to get pancakes, so I stuck with a salad. The salad had no dressing, but I still enjoyed it and left feeling just full enough. Typically I would have left feeling miserable from eating so much, then when we went shopping afterwards I would have felt horrible. I'm starting week 4 so I have to remember how good it felt to have energy after dinner and not feel like my stomach was going to explode. I also ended up a pound down this morning, so that's a bonus of not gorging myself yesterday.

I got a run in on Saturday, which was nice because it was a beautiful day. I ended up doing 3 workouts last week, which was 1 more than my goal of 2. This week I want to get 3 workouts in also. I really need to keep up with the running because we've got a 5K coming up on July 4th and I'm not even close to being able to run the whole thing and that's my goal. Last year I ran the whole thing, my time wasn't great, but I just wanted to be able to do the whole thing without walking and I did it. I want to do the same this year. The time doesn't matter much to me, it's crossing that finish line knowing I pushed myself and did my best that will make me happy.

I hope everyone has a great Monday!
