Today I went to the gymn with my friend, but she is having a flare-up so instead of the eliptical, we took 5 or 6 laps (walking) around the outdoor track, since it is easier on her knees.  I slipped twice this week, the first time while attending a bridal show with my engaged friend (I resisted most of the samples, but not all) and the other when we had a going-away party for a friend in the office.  She brought these fabulous Chinese cookies, like green tea cookies, and other exotic flavors, and I HAD to have a few.  But they were more like graham crackers - sweet, but not as bad as a typical American ‘cookie.’

The good news is that I have lost 3lbs this week!  I am very happy about this!  This means I am down 6lbs so far.  Yay!
