Iiiiiii'm Baaaack!

Hello!
What a weekend! I had the honor of planning the Southampton Publick House's Oktoberfest celebration complete with dances by the Our Fabulous Variety Show Players, songs by AM Radio and Charly Notturno, and excellent food and beer! I also had the great joy of being the bride in the Southampton Historical Museum's 1851 re-enactment wedding ceremony of Elizabeth Fordham and George White!

My tearing it up on my new drum set and Charly rocking out on keyboard!

Bobby, Michael, me, and Kasia in our Oktoberfest best!

I might not have made it to the gym but trust me, I danced enough for a week!

My beautiful wedding party!

Even though it was a fake wedding, it was still so emotional!

(See, this is me trying not to cry :)

No smiles!

Ok we did smile a bit.

My apologies for being out of commission the past couple of days! But I had my recovery day, I ate extraordinarily well today and tomorrow I get back to hot yoga and the gym!

I can honestly say that I am already feeling so much better than I imagined I would during this challenge. I'm not to my goals yet, but the work outs and the healthy eating are slowly becoming part of my daily routine. I open the fridge for a snack and I'm not instantly disappointed when all I see are carrots, celery, and almond milk. Ok I have never been disappointed by almond milk, that stuff is fantastic! But now the veggies are a nice sight as well.

Today I had eggs, onions and asparagus for breakfast. For lunch I had half a can of Progresso chicken noodle soup, celery, and a salad with apples, sprout and balsamic vinegar (no oil!). And for dinner Michael and I had some bratwurst (we are still in an Oktoberfest mood from Friday), but we skipped the buns! I had mine with black beans and rice and he had his solo. We also had a nice big salad and some amazing Gatsby Red wine from Duckwalk Vineyards! I just joined their wine club and I'm glad I did, I always feel better with a glass of red wine than a beer. Not to dis beer, I love beer. Beer and I are very tight. But beer and my belly are having a fight right now so I'm trying to give them some time apart from each other.

I am 11 days in to my 3 month challenge and I am feeling really good about reaching my goals!

December 20th is my completion date... 81 more days!
