Day 12 - Memorial Day wine festival

Today was the (very nice) Albuquerque Wine Festival. It was cloudy, so not too hot, and the last day of the Festival, and yup, I had to go. I got up in decent time, went and did my weight workout. Again, ecstatic to find that I had to move up in weights for nearly every exercise, and I was actually able to do a couple minutes of abs! That's a first for me.
I was going to try to go again, to make up for the drinking this weekend, but didn't make it. It wasn't a sedentary day at all, with the hours of walking at the festival. I didn't eat much, either. Never really had a lunch, just oatmeal at 11:00 after the gym and a big beautiful ribeye about 8:30pm. Lots of healthy snacking on carrots and a protein bar in the middle. I weighed myself in at 161 this morning, which is four pounds heavier than my official starting weight at 157. After that steak tonight, I bet I'm up to at least 164 or so.
I stayed hydrated, drank lots of water, and had a really nice Memorial day, ending with a fire burning in our firepit, listening to Bob Marley, watching the stars come out. Gotta love long weekends.

  2. ah, fruits... I'm slacking on the fruits! I bought little fruit cups the other day, and we have strawberries & grapes in the house now. More fruits, I can do that.
