Dining out

Quick update:
I weighed in today for my weight loss challenge. Down 1lbs from last week.
Went out to dinner with friends at LAVO at the Palazzo. Excellent Italian food, served family style. I think I overeat a bit, it tasted soo good and I forgot my tablets from Herbalife at home to control my appetite.
I plan on going for a run tomorrow and having two shakes and one main meal. One day at a time.

Not sure how to change my picture on this blog. I put my before picture up but can't seem to put both my before and after pic. Any ideas?
Thanks

Well its 340a.m. PST. I just got home from work. I had a vanilla shake with a couple scoops of low fat ice cream and soy milk. Hmm good! Still hungry a little but I will give it a while and try to avoid any more food. I am having one Samuel Adams beer, yeah I know, not great but just one. Happy Friday Everyone!

Hotmail account broke into

I am soo frustrated!! About 5a.m. this morning, my hotmail.com account got broken into. I think its because I responded to a fake email from msn. I can't login into my account. They even changed the security codes. Therefor I can't even reset the password. Anyone had this happen before? I am soo frustrated. I emailed msn hotmail and they said they would respond within 24 hours.
On a side note, throughout this morning, I was drinking shakes. But when I finally stopped and watched tv to wind down, I was soo frustrated I snacked on more wheat thins than I should have with ranch dip and shredded cheese.
Good news is, I ran on Monday and Tuesday at Mt. Charleston. Got quit the workout in.

New Shake

I love to snack before I go to bed. I decided to have a shake instead tonight. Heres the recipe:
Butterfinger- 2 scoops cookies n cream, 1/2tsp sugar free butterscotch pudding, 1/2 tbsp sugar free chocolate pudding, 1 tbsp peanut butter, chocolate soy milk.
Tastes good and controls my hunger well.

Quick Update

I ran in the 10K road race on Saturday in 48 minutes. About a minute slower than last year, but better than my training pace this year. My brother just beat me at the finish less than 5 seconds, at least it was close. We went running at Mt. Charleston on Monday(6 miles) and today (8.5), I am sore. I weighed in at my weight loss challenge on Monday at 171lbs, down 5 lbs in 3 weeks so far.

New Favorite Shake, Race Tomorrow

Well I am drinking my new favorite shake. It consists of Wild Berry Mix, Orange Juice, frozen fruit medley and ice, hmmm soo good. I take Herbalife shakes as part of my plan to lose weight. I have gotten sick of the orignal shakes with just water, so I started to mix it up and try different recipes. This one really tops it off. I really like Orange Juice and I am not sure why I stopped drinking it. I know it has sugar in it, but it tastes good and has some benefits to it. I buy the 50% less sugar variety.
Tonight my older brother Nate, who is a doctor is coming to town. I am trying to get out of work early to pick him up. Tomorrow is the big race, 10K, but a very challenging race and my brother always pushes me to the brink. I am in worst shape than I was last year at this time. Here are my results from last year, http://www.lasvegasrunningteam.com/Results/2008/sunover.htm.
Thats me 29th, at 46:51, 7:32/mile pace. I ran a trial run the other day at 48:37, so I am going to need to push myself hard to get to the pace I did last year. My goal is to me or beat my time last year. It will be a challenge.
Have a great weekend, everyone!
