Getting closer!

I am only 6 pounds away from my "healthy weight!!!" That is AWESOME! I want to lose a few more than that but still. I can't believe it. The half-marathon is 2 weeks from tomorrow. SCARY! I walked/ran 10 miles on Tuesday and thought I would die. My legs were so sore Tuesday but by Wednesday they were better (sore again that night). The one thing I did wrong, is Kevin said I should have ate some protein after I finished. All I had was a banana and 2 small pieces of left over pizza (9 points!). That's a big lunch for me but on days like those, I can't worry about points- just about content.

I'm also on this coffee kick. I am not a coffee drinker... I'm a froo-froo flavored latte drinker. Those went out the window when Weight Watchers started (a tall is like 3-5 points even with skim milk). Here's my new coffee (for only 1.5 points!!!!)... oh & since I'm not a "coffee drinker" I also don't have a coffee maker. I use the Maxwell House coffee bags; kinda like a tea bag. I make that in one of our reusable Starbuck's mugs then I add 2 TB of Splenda, 1 TB of sugar-free instant cocoa mix, and 1.5 TB of Peppermint Mocha non-dairy creamer. SO GOOD! If I stay on this, I may invest in a coffee maker (like a $10 one at Big Lots!!). It's a nice, guilt-free change!

Thanksgiving is Thursday... at my Grandma's!!! I'm getting nervous =) I am taking my work-out clothes with me so I can walk at least once (fingers crossed!). Hopefully this week doesn't set me back too much; or if it does, the half marathon the next weekend offsets it!

Many blessings this Thanksgiving! **love & skinny hugs**
