It's been awhile (2.10.2009)

Thanks for all the get well wishes for Oscar. He is still limping, but is showing small signs of improvement every day. We had an appt at the vet tonight and the doctor thinks it is a sprain, but wants to see the x-rays from the Pet ER before knowing for sure.

I was also informed that Oscar needs to go on a diet. He is about 10 pounds overweight. All those treats caught up with him over the holidays. She said that I should lower the amount of dry food and add in a can of green beans. Anyone else done this?! We will see how this goes over. I told him I wouldn't start his diet until after his paw was better.

Quickest Weekend Recap Eva

Saturday, my mom and I went to my friend, Chrissi's, baby shower brunch in DC. It was a great time and I got to see some good friends from college!

My first breakfast plate.

My second breakfast plate. Kidding. My friend Laura, who helped organize the shower, made these cute little buggers. I had a strawberry cupcake that was deeelish.

Centerpieces with baby sock roses. aww.

Friend shot...The rest of my Saturday involved greasy food and the Pet ER. Chick-Fil-a: cant deny its goodness.

Sunday was spent nursing Oscar back to health and then drinking bloody mary's outside in Fell's Point to celebrate the 60 degree weather. Had to get out and enjoy it for a few hours. I definitely fell off the workout wagon for a while there, which is a shame because the weather was perfect this weekend!

Ok, probably not the quickest recap, but I tried.

Monday

I don't always post pictures of my lunch, but I wanted to show what is starting to become a regular lunch salad for me. The beets are wrapped in plastic wrap since they stain everything. Beets and Goat Cheese added to any salad makes me actually WANT to eat it.

After work, the weather was still pretty warm and it was light out, so I went for a 3.4 mile (33 mins) run and then did a 20 min lifting, lunge, ab workout at home.

This week is about getting back on the program. I am going to repeat the 3rd week from my running program since I only did 1/3 of it last week.

Exciting Stuff

1. I had the highest bid for Andrea's (bella eats [and runs]) Chocolate Chip Cookies in Meghann's blogger bake sale. The sale benefits Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS). Great cause and I cant wait to get the cookies!!

2. My first contest is coming in the next few days...once I get my act together.

Good night!
