Then I walked for 10 minutes at a 5% incline for a total time of 45:00 and distance of 3.385 miles

The running portion was really good today. I felt even and never like I was going to die. I think taking the speed down several notches has really helped. I would lOVE to be running at 5.6 or 5.8, but I think 5.3 is a good pace for me right now. Perhaps by Friday I'll be able to kick it up to 5.4 and see how that goes.

My weekend was good - I didn't totally lose control even though I wasn't counting points or eating clean. I think I just needed a good break for a couple of days. A break from eating every 3 hours and a break from making sure I had a protein and a carb at every meal. I ate a lot of cereal this weekend (which I miss and isn't so bad for me since I ate Grape Nut Flakes), but not a whole lot of protein.

We went out for dinner with Doug, Jenny and his mom on Saturday. We went to the Kerry Piper, which I anticipated was going to be tough to find anything healthy on the menu (irish pub), however, I was excited to see Tuna Caprese and ordered that. I don't feel like it was terrible, but I'm sure the rice was filled with butter and the 1/2 of the dessert I had afterward was not so good for me:) Not worried about it.
