To answer my own questions :

My plan for easter is to go to my mom's house. My mom likes to cook all the traditional foods we ate while I was growing up (sans meat of course) but I am hoping we don't have to do that this year. It will just me the three of us and Iz can't eat much table food yet, so I hope to talk her into small, more reasonable meals.

The indian food recipes look great! I am going to try the indian rice when I get home.

Training - thank god for warm weather - is about to begin. My plan is to do 4 walks a week, 3 short and 1 long, just to build up my endurance and continue losing weight. On 1 or possibly more of the non-walk days I will do some cross training - stretches, yoga, belly dancing, whatever strikes my fancy. In June/July, I will just on the novice half-marathon training schedule with Cat and either walk or walk/jog for the first go round (we will go through it twice before the actual half-marathon, I leave it to Cat to figure out the day we should start, counting backwards is hard. :) The second time around, I will hopefully be jogging if my knees hold out. Wow, I am so excited to get started! I am ready to print out a schedule and mark off workouts completed.

Food - back in order. I have two completely "on plan" days, I am journaling everything, keeping my points to the low end of my range (knowing that I will likely go over this weekend.) Feeling rejuvinated and out of the slump of last week. Thanks for sticking by me, guys!

TTC - we are still planning on starting to try for #2 next year after the half marathon. That is still my major motivation, the idea that we won't be able to because I fail is hard to even consider.
