At the happy hour I had a BLT on buttery toasty bread and some french fries. And it was gooooooooooooooooooooood.
I was good the rest of the weekend and ended up at 172.2 this morning.
I also took Sunday off from working out; I don't know what I did between Thursday and Sunday to make my hamstrings so sore, but they were...and still are a little bit...so I figure I'd give my tired muscles a chance to rest.
This happy hour that I went to was with a meetup.com group and some of them had not seen me since January; got lots of squeals of "Oh my god, you look great!" I love those.
I also went clothes shopping yesterday. The mall was REALLY crowded (what recession??) so I had to park on the top floor of the parking garage. 4 floors up. Took the stairs all the way down, mostly because I don't know where the elevators are but also because it never killed anyone to take the stairs. The store I wanted to go to (Old Navy) was on the 3rd floor of the mall, so I took the stairs all the way up. I was the only person on the staircase walking UP. Everyone else was walking DOWN. I tried on half the store at Old Navy but ended up buying only a cardigan.
Then I went down one floor to The Gap. The Galleria is fantastic in that Old Navy, The Gap, and Banana Republic are all in the same spot on the 3rd, 2nd, and 1st floors; so if you want to hit all three, it's really easy. Sadly, J. Crew is way on the other end of the mall...so I didn't even go there. They're kind of expensive anyway. So at The Gap all they had were form-fitting camis to be worn underneath tissue-thin sweaters and cardigans. Apparently, you are SUPPOSED to layer your clothing. So I was like "OK, I'll play along" and found some cute camis (size L, not XL) and a cute long-sleeved t-shirt and a cute sweater to wear over those camis. Very daring colors and styles for me.
And on the way back out to the car, I took the stairs all the way up to the 4th floor and was pleasantly surprised that I was not breathing hard once I reached the top.
All in all a good weekend.
