This weekend was BUSY!
Also, Saturday was not a good food day. I will not be logging that one. 
Sunday was good. Monday was better.
I’m incorporating more veggies in my diet. My snack of the week is baby carrots, plum tomatoes, and a little hummus.
Alcohol
I have decided to cut back on the booze. I am only going to drink at special occasions, which includes, holidays, birthdays, special events, and visiting with out of town friends. This will cut out my weekly drinking and the occasional drinking with friends after walks.
My first test was last night, and I passed. I hung out with friends at a pub after walking. I drank unsweet tea and also ate a salad that contained the following: romaine lettuce, onion, tomatoes, mushrooms, and grilled chicken. I had light Italian on the side and I didn’t eat much of the dressing. I even managed to have a good time without adding on an additional 500-1000 calories to my day.
Training
The time has come for me to step it up on the walking! We have officially kicked off http://www.walkuniversity.com/ in Birmingham, Alabama, and that walking group will be starting on September 14th. I started my training with a 2 mile loop yesterday afternoon, and I’ll be resting today. Right now I will be walking one day, resting the next.
B Metro Magazine
Also, I’m really excited about the September issue of B Metro Magazine. They have a story featuring this blog. So, Birmingham peeps be on the lookout for that.

Sounds like you are doing pretty good – you gotta plan and that will help you to follow the right path. Now, I need to do to the same thing and follow the plan I laid out on Sunday, haha. Good luck this week – and congrats for being featured in a magazine
Great snack plan and great alcohol plan too! Congratulations on being featured in the Magazine! Lots of exciting things coming up for you!
Awesome! You can do it! Congrats on the magazine feature!
Good, bad, or whatever…if you ate it, log it! If you feel so badly about it that you didn't want to post it, maybe putting it out there will make you think twice about doing it again? Plus, all you can do is be real and honest with yourself…and, well, your followers!! Keep it up!
