We went to a champagne party last night, which by the way, is now my favorite kind of party! There were a gazillion different kinds of appetizers, which Andy made sure to sample them all, and an endless amount of champagne and desserts! I ate a small dinner before we went but I did treat myself to a few crackers with brie and some shrimp. Oh, and of course, copious amounts of champagne. With that being said, I relaxed a little and did eat some sweets. I hate when I let my guard down after I had a few drinks, but if that's what it takes to treat myself...then I guess I better keep drinking the bubbly!!
Went for a 7.75 mile run yesterday with the club. It was really cold out, but it felt great to be outside running. I didn't lift lower body last week because of my knee and thought it was doing better, but after the run yesterday it was pretty sore. The pain is on the outside of the knee and almost feels like it needs to crack. Any doctors out there??
Had a GREAT workout today, even after the champagne last night! I started week 2 of the 100 push up challenge, lifted for an hour, did the elliptical for an hour (really pushed myself on this since I rarely feel like I worked out after the elliptical) and then did some stretching and abs. Total points for HBBC today was 8.5.
One more day of work until Jan. 5th!! I'm really looking forward to 2 weeks of non-rushed workouts!! And one more thing, thanks for all the nice comments on my last post. :-)

Aw, you're allowed to treat yourself now and then. Sounds like you more than made up for it with your workouts the next day.
Champagne party? Why have I never been to one?? Sounds like a blast! Glad you had a good time, and way to get your workout in the next day.
Thanks for checking out my blog! :) Sounds like a great workout and a great party! Now I'll have to catch up on your blog as well! Happy holidays!
You're rocking on the workouts, geesh!! I always eat something before I head out to parties, bc going on an empty stomach is totally BAD news. But with the bubbly it always helps me to loosen up and treat myself a little bit!! Glad you had a good time!
I need cooler friends. What a great sounding party! :o)
Way to keep rocking the workouts.
Nothing wrong with a treat every now and then. Especially with some bubbly!
I worked out on the elliptical this week for the first time in months. I used to love it, but this time I was sooooooo bored.
After a 7.75 mile run, I think you're entitled to some goodies :)
With the pain on the outside of your knee, is it your ITB?
Champagne party...yum..
Could be ITB pain. Do you pronate on that foot at all? A champagne party sounds awesome. Sounds like your kicking butt on the HBBC!
