Happy Saturday!

This morning, I grudgingly got out of bed to join a friend at the first meeting of the run/walk club we have signed up for through the Y. I woke up with my allergies clogging up my head and didn't really want to get out from under the covers, but she was encouraging and I dragged myself up. We did three miles of a running & walking combination. My goal is to eventually do a 5K (the club has a list of several they are encouraging members to take part in), so I have made a start. The club has folks at all different levels from people just starting out to those training to run a marathon. The people were very friendly and I was glad I got out there.

We are hosting a party at our home tonight for about 40 people. My car was in the shop earlier this week, so I was able to get a lot of the prep work done early. Today, my main job seems to be making sure my kiddos do their assigned tasks to help get everything ready! My DH is smoking brisket, ribs, and veggies. We have not tried smoking veggies before, so hopefully those will turn out to be very tasty. I made a few desserts yesterday, as well as some dips. (I am doing my best to keep myself out of the hummus!) People are bringing dishes as well. I am going to do my best to enjoy the food without overdoing. I have been doing very well all week, staying under on calories, so I can balance out a little indulgence tonight.

Have a great day!
