Lesson Learned - No More Alcohol
This weekend I drank quite a bit. I was at the casino and really wasn't thinking about everything I've read about how it contributes to weight gain. First I had a double shot of Jack, then Lord knows how many beers. Yesterday I got to the gym and weighed myself and I was at 422!!! That's 8lbs heavier than I was last Wednesday (I was 414). Let me also add that Fri. - Sun. my water intake was less than 4 cups per day, and its usually twice that or more.
I was upset about it all day, but I think it motivated me more than ever. I drank close to a gallon of water, had 4 protein shakes, and a large salad. Today after my work out, I weighed in at 417. I'm guessing a lot of that 8lbs may have been due to my water issue and the sudden drop over 3 days. The worst part was I was expecting to see a loss because I made good eating choices all weekend.
I plan to hit the gym hard this week to make up for that HUGE slip up and from here on out, I'll be refraining from alcohol. I won't let this minor set back beat me. It was a real eye opener though.
