Well done!<br /><br />And you ran - that's the opposite of slobbing out. Well done!<br /><br />And the scallops - they're just one meal. All those other meals, you made the right choices. Well done!<br /><br />The BBQ - there'll be loads of gorgeous char-grilled vegetables, and all those fab summer salads, the best time of year to dive in to a salad bowl. Enjoy them, and feel your waistline getting smaller with every mouthful. Go Rae!<br /><br />And the blister - yeah, that was stupid! But hey, that's OK, we all make mistakes. Wear more than one pair of socks, the more layers, the less likely blisters.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-368531899493197447.post-73692726745224752302010-08-20T23:33:17.784-07:002010-08-20T23:33:17.784-07:00It wont help with an already formed blister, but a...It wont help with an already formed blister, but a friend of mine gave me a great tip for preventing them. Whenever you start to feel that 'hot spot' of a blister forming, slap some duct tape on it. This actually works! Also, there is a product called Body Glide for preventing blisters. I just don't have any. I have duct tape. ;)ThingsTreasuredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08816942927568036789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-368531899493197447.post-30023908948575201412010-08-20T19:19:19.892-07:002010-08-20T19:19:19.892-07:00OK - I am a focus-on-the-positive kind of person s...OK - I am a focus-on-the-positive kind of person so let's review.<br /><br />#1 - YOU LOST WEIGHT! That's the goal here!<br /><br />#2 - You increased your running intensity!<br /><br />#3 - You were successful some of the week, and you have a good plan (the zoo) for the weekend. <br /><br />Go with that and you will get over this tiny little digression. Plus, somehow I think Clyde will be happy for you even if you only lose 5 lbs between now and the end of the challenge becuase you are still making progress toward your goal of being healthier!Katie Warrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17690028383976104359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-368531899493197447.post-22170732192930524792010-08-20T17:19:30.209-07:002010-08-20T17:19:30.209-07:00Rae, don't beat yourself up.

Love the time with friends and family this weekend, be guilt-free about the delicious-sounding pasta... Just throw in a long walk with someone you love and be content. You've been doing so well. This will not ruin you. It will make you happy. We need that from time to time. Next week will be new, and you'll have great memories to replay while you do your regular workout.Dominiquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12843916931903910461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-368531899493197447.post-12778516631860651432010-08-20T12:38:26.212-07:002010-08-20T12:38:26.212-07:00Everyone has rough weeks every now and then.
