Potluck Friday

Woke up late again so by the time I got to work I was on the go go go that I didn't have my usual oatmeal/banana/greentea breakfast.

Our PA Team held a potluck today. Lots of different foods from different backgrounds (of course 90% of the dishes were bumbay). I brought fresh vietnamese spring rolls (I was not going to fry up lumpia)!
I did pretty good at the potluck I think. I didn't stack up my plate with a lot of food nor did I even try any desserts. I had about a 2 TBSP of some bumbay rice, 3 small bites of buttered chicken (first time trying and it wasn't bad!), and 2 pieces of anitpesto grilled eggplant on top of 1 small slice of baguette. Probably the worst (healthwise) thing I ate was this salmon spread which I spread on 2 slices of baguette. Bad for me but ooo so tasty.
Normally, I would have piled up my plate with bread and this dip...but I resisted. I also allowed myself 4 pieces of bbq chips.
And that's all folks...that was it for potluck food for me! Small bites of just a few things and NO dessert. Not I'd have to say I'm pretty proud of myself.

Get home 5:30ish and have myself 2 spring rolls. Watch a little tv for about half an hour, then I get ready to go for a mile run/walk. This time I would run 2-3 blocks, walk for about 20 seconds, then repeat. I did this the whole mile. 25 minute mile. HORRIBLE =/ But...an improvement at least. I've got 2 months before the Jingle Bell run. I can do this....I WILL DO THIS.
I just need to start conditioning myself to running up hill now too.

So I get home from my run, and I do this 15 min ab workout off FitTV. She incorporated some pilates moves too (ouch)...but a good ouch =)
I also looked for a leg/butt workout to do too.

9ish I have another spring roll with nore (yum!) then snakced on a Sugar Free Jello cup.
11:30ish I have the munchies again so I eat the rest of my ground turkey.
And ended my night with Dieters Tea.

That's it for my food intake for Friday....
