So, when do I have a day that ISN'T busy?

Dun Dun Duuuunnn. Today was Weigh in Day. I was super nervous. Matt got to witness his first ever "Closet to scale and repeat" run this morning. This is basically me being SUPER obsessive trying to find the lightest suitable outfit for weigh in. I mixed up a shake to bring to drink at the meeting. In the shake: tropical vega mix, frozen mango, half a banana, ice and water. Matt drove me to the center and waited for me in starbucks. He also picked me up a coffee ;) good man good man!
It was great getting there. Saw members I met during my journey as a weight watchers member and told them about my commitment back to the meetings. And got a few comments on how gross my shake looked. What? its not easy being green you say? well, my shake is very delicious nonetheless. I was down 2 point something (cant remember and too tired to get my weight record) since last week so I am VERY pleased.
I packed oatmeal and the other half of my banana in my purse as well. The meeting went well, topic was of course in the spirit of Halloween. After the meeting Matt and I drove up to Langford to go to Costco. We figure it isn't a bad way to save money in a few areas. So I picked up a LOT of frozen fruit and chicken breast. Also bought the ingredients for my favourite pasta sauce (which recently have made it onto spaghetti squash instead of pasta). We also bought some Perrier (another one of my favourites), Toilet paper and LOTS of sweet red peppers and onions. YUM.
Once we got in a made us a bowl of "light" tomato soup and toast to share. (made with water). Had a little margarine on the toast as well. Drank a lot of water today. Pleased with that. I snacked on a banana before leaving to go check out a condo Matt was interested in looking into. Then came home for a bit again, grabbed an apple, and went off see a movie! I know right! Busy Saturday!
We saw "In Time" the new Justin Timberlake flick. It was good, definitely an interesting concept. I enjoyed it. At the theatre I snacked on one of my Luna Bars.
We came back to my place to have a little sit down before going off to meet friends. I made Matt some Peanut Butter on toast and I had BBQ pop chips. Matt had a groupon to use and wanted to organize a little surprise for some friends of ours.
So in Victoria, if you aren't from around here or ever been here, we have horse carriage rides. So we organized for our friends to meet us at the parliament buildings to walk over to the carriages. It ended up being such a fun night. After the carriages we walked over to milestones for a nice dinner. It is one of my favourite restaurants especially the Victoria downtown location that looks over the harbor and parliament. So beautiful! I had my usual Salad but asked for dressing on the side and no pecans. (couldn't justify the points on those bad boys).

 That was one busy day and I somehow managed to write a flip chart for tomorrows meeting and get some notes and reading done for class. Well tomorrow I am gonna go for a 16 or so km run. I was planned on a 21.1 km but we will see. I have lots of work to get done school wise *sigh*. I am off to sleep to try and get some sleep. I know there will be lots of drunk people screaming around outside. Seriously do not understand Halloween as a reason to party. But that is coming from the 21 year old that likes to go to bed super early and get up super early for no reason. ha! Night all!
