I survived the Blue and Gold Banquet..this was the event that I have been a little freakeshly intense about lately. It was my first time chairing an event like this..andI took it really seriously...really..but it was GREAT. The entire event was perfect, I think. However, the planning..not so perfect. I worked SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO hard on this event..I fell behind on work, house stuff, other hobbies, working out, blogging :)...When it was over..many people asked me," What are you going to do with your time?". I said, "Get back to my life". So, my point was everything in moderation. I guess if I could change just one thing about the event..it would be all the time I took away from other things for this..on the flip side..the hard work did pay off. It really was a perfect event..and I got many accolades tonight..not why I did it though. I did it b/c noone else was. I might ppost some pictures from the event. For those who don't know what the B & G is, it's a big cub scout event. It's usually a celebratory meal and for us..we do awards, recognition of leaders, rank advancement from cub to boy scout, and much more. Our theme this year was Chinese New Year and it really was fun to plan. I forgot to wear my pedometer tonight..bummer b/c I never sat down! Even missed the cake :(..maybe that's a good thing..b/c I didn't eat all day b/c I was preparing everything.
So, on the weigh in front..my car went forwards!!! -1.5..woo hoo. Even after that piece of pizza for dinner Thurs pm! So, time for Lifestyle Goals... time to bump the steps up to 3,500 daily and I have not been logging the food! So.........as I read somewhere..If you bite it,write it. I will log my food this week.
It is very late..but I didn't want to go another day without checking in with my blogging buddies! I am off to the most restful sleep knowing my event is over and I have NOTHING to plan for a while.
I hope you all have a great Monday!

I'm so glad you made it through the banquet and it was a huge success.
Congrats on the 1.5 pound loss and for your commitment to increase your exercise!
I started using sparkpeople.com for my food log and I just love it, they make it so easy to track your food, water and exercise and even make recommendations.
Isn't it nice to get your life back?
Congrats on your successful event and weight loss. Keep it up and 40will be fabulous for you too!
Congrats on the success of the B&G banquet. We attended a few of those over the years. I'm glad it's behind you and that you can now move forward with life. Congrats also on the weight loss! Awesome!! I know your car will continue going forward from this point. Keep walking and journaling your food intake and you can't go wrong. :D
Well done on the weight loss! You must be so pleased. And yay for having your life back!
Wow, that is just awesome! I'm so glad the banquet went well, what a wonderful feeling. And I'm glad you can get back to your life. :-)
And you've got a wonderful loss too, what a perfect cap to the whole thing! Way to not let stress and busy-ness interfere with your progress. Congratulations on both fronts!
