So, I had a great time on my trip. I ate almost completely on plan, but had 1 diet margarita friday night, and 3 on saturday night. (I allowed myself 2 each night, and only had 1 on friday, soooo - girl math meant 3 on saturday!)
I hadn't seen these folks in a year, so I had lots of great reactions to the smaller me - way more than I expected! The best was the woman who runs the car show - when she saw me she yelled -
"Oh my God, Kris - where is the rest of you!?!?!??!?" This is a very relaxed car show - they basically give trophies to whoever they want for whatever reason they like. My car is nothing special in the car show crowd, but I almost always get a trophy at this show just because they like me. This year I got the "queen's award" - picked by a group of ladies in the host club. Later they told me that the trophy wasn't for my car, it was for me - for losing weight!

Ah, I love these women!
Maryshady, hope the grad party went well.
Shanhat, I'll cross my fingers that the steroids don't bloat you too much.
Montecristo, keep plugging away! Italy sounds great - I'm heading to Ireland in November, and want to be solidly in transition by then.
