Sex in The Carribean

That is the summary of my weekend.  No, no, not literally (I wish!)...  It was one of the best weekends I have had in awhile (wait a minute didn't I just visit a friend and have a fabulous too last week...)

First of all Friday night, I brought a colleague some treats because she had to leave work early, because her son was sick.  I ended up hanging out with her and her family until 10 pm.  I played with her 2 year old and she made me a fabulous dinner of steak , asparagus and potatoes.  Hubby brought chocolate cake for dessert, yummy!

Saturday, we went to the Chinese restaurant and then headed to Sex and The City.  I really liked the movie and if you like SATC you will like the movie too.  Abu Dhabi (although I read that it was actually filmed in Morocco) looks breathtaking and I swear if I was rich my bags would be packed.  The outfits were spectacular.  My favorite dress is the one that Charlotte is wearing in the desert.  Here is a pic:

Sunday, I headed to Taste of the Caribbean (TOTC), it was even better than last year for a few reasons, there were less people and more food.  You name and they had it; jerk chicken, salt fish, roti, fried rice, dumplings.  The desserts were also delicious; cassava squares, current rolls, sugar cakes.  I ate until I could not eat anymore.  I rested and then I ate some more!  I am sure that I am going to see an increase at Friday's weight in but, I am going to try and be extra good for the rest of the week as well as push out an extra 15 minutes of cardio.

  Even better news...the Black Community is not that big where I live, especially the West Indian Black Community. I saw so many people at TOTC, that I have not seen in a long time.  EVERYONE told me how good I looked and how I have lost so much weight.  It made me feel like a trillion bucks.  I saw a childhood friend's mother, who did not recognize me!  This has me so motivated.  I even saw a guy from my gym that said , "  Don't ruin all the work you have done now! "  He was totally joking but I appreciated what he has to say.

Tonight I am signing up for a Learn to Run Clinic at the running room, I am so nervous yet excited.  This is my new activity for the week.  The program lasts 13 weeks and by the end I should be able to run 20-30 minutes non stop.  The train us for a race that will be later in the summer I will let you know more about that as time goes on.

One last thing, a women at my work made a comment the other day and I wanted to share it with you.  She said, " I know that you have lost alot of weight, but I always see you eating sweets."  My answer to her can be summed up in one word. MODERATION!

I see you new followers!  Thank you and welcome!  Readers, commentors and friends, thank you for everything!
