Hi everyone! How is your Saturday? Mine is good. Today I went and met Wicked Bride and her mom to get our dresses altered for her wedding. It was the first time I had seen her dress on her and it is gorgeous! I can’t wait to see it when it is complete. Mine is going to look fab too (if I do say so myself). It just has to be taken in in the um…bust, my chest was the first to go when I lost weight -and hemmed about 3/4 of an inch.

After the fitting, the three of us went out to lunch at The Fat Cat. I ordered a bowl of the soup of the day (it is rainy here today and I was so in the mood for soup).

It was a hot and sour mushroom soup. It was really great! It had a nice kick to it, which I loved and was packed with veggies: mushrooms, okra, spinach and cabbage. I ate almost all of it.

I also ordered the Chef’s Veggie Plate, when I saw the description of “a mix of hot and cold veggies” I knew it was for me

It included roasted fingerling potatoes, grilled asparagus, grilled yellow peppers, a tomato and corn REALLY CHUCKY salsa, broccolini and..THE STAR OF THE SHOW mashed potatoes and butter nut squash mix.

It came with a teriyaki dipping sauce.

I ate all the mashed potato and squash mix, and a little bit of everything else. I took the veggies (not the sauce) home because they were awesome!!!

Oh wait, I also had Erica’s (WIcked Bride) pickle that came with her sandwich

It was dark in there so the pics are a little dark.

After lunch I headed out to run some errands. I went to Target to get some stuff we needed around our apt. and then to Trader Joe’s for groceries. I hadn’t planned on going until tomorrow, but I was right near it so I figured what the heck, right?

While shopping I had a medium coffee from Dunkin Donuts.

Clearly, I am doing a fantastic job of cutting down on my coffee .

When I got home I decided to run even in the down pours. It was a hard run for me. I am feeling a little sick. I thought it was allergies, but I took allergy medicine and it DID NOT HELP! I have a feeling it is a cold…let’s really hope not! I ended up running 3.5 miles at a 9 min/mile speed, which I guess is not horrible.

Oh, here was my outfit for today (I may or may not be in PJ’s now at 6:30 on a Saturday night )

Jeans (GAP), Gray Thermal (American Eagle), Multicolored Scarf (H&M). I am wearing a pair of pumas on my feet. I totally took a sneaker picture, but my camera ate it and they are too soaked to come back into the house right now, sorry!

Tonight’s plans include some serious R&R to fight off whatever is making me feel crummy. I plan on baking some banana bread and curling up with TV/Movie (not sure which yet) and Oscar (aka the pumpkin addict).

See you later on!
