Weigh in day & Fitbloggin' in the Bay

5.8 pounds.  Yup, that's how much I lost this past week.  I had a fairly good idea of what my weigh in would be today as I got on the scale on Friday just to see how I was doing.   I can't say that I tracked or exercised much this week.  I think this loss was due to stress which isn't a good thing but I will definitely take it.  I have finally lost what I gained when I went on vacation and a bit more.  I am just one pound from reaching a 75 pound loss. I am going to concentrate on that pound this week.

On Saturday morning I met up with 5 other Bay Area bloggers for a Fitbloggin' meetup hosted by Tracey from TJ's Test Kitchen.  It's really nice to meet up with people who strive to be healthy and have the same goals in mind.  When we got there, I tried one of Danica's mini cranberry lemon muffins. Oh so good! Check out her site this week for the recipe.  We started out our meetup by going on an hour walk and then went back to Tracey's house for our potluck pizza party.  We all brought a variety of toppings to create one of a kind pizzas and salads.


Not to pat myself on the back but my pizza came out delish!  It was half artichoke olive tapenade as the base, olives, zucchini, mozzarella cheese & caramelized onions. Other half is pizza sauce, turkey pepperoni, pineapple, cheese & sun dried tomatoes on wheat pizza dough.  So yummy!  I also had a small salad, fruit & a yummy diet soda cupcake.  It was so good that I didn't even have time to take a picture of it.  I will share some pictures that Danica from Danica's Daily took of that day.
