confession time...
I had a weird weekend. I'm a single parent and I'm not used to being able to get away from the kid for any amount of time. But my step dad took my son on sunday which freed me up to go to my friends bar for a "bloody mary bar". so, I'm referring the yesterday as "bloody sunday" because I had two huge bloody mary's which I KNOW had way more alcohol in them then the usual amount...then...heres where it gets bad
between 5 ppl we shared calamari, crab cakes and an order of crab and avocado dip. And then, here's where it gets even WORSE
we went back to my friend parents house and had grilled blue fin tuna belly...super fatty...really fatty...oh gawd! and a white rice/brown rice blend...and deep friend prawns. More beers...a coctail...don't worry, I didn't drive I'm a bike rider, very anti petrol right now. But wow, that was the worst alcoholic weekend I've had since before I became a parent. And here I was earlier in this thread preaching about abstaining while dieting. Freakin hypocrite! Just smack me now! I didn't even bother adding it all up, I just know that I went from 189 friday to 192 today. *pouts* back on track.
Ghost-don't be too hard on yourself. I think the most important thing we can remember is that anyone can have an off time, but it's making sure we don't get down on ourselves and quit. Yesterday I was on plan for counting and exercise and I felt great. I'm barely a week into my new plan, but I hope I can be just as supportive as anyone else! I do like this weekend accountability. Good job everybody! See you back next week.
As far as i'm concerned, we're all human. Wait until I get together with my best friend for a day. It's an all out food party day and I try my best to not have regrets. I figure if I eat healthy 90% of the time, I'm allowed one day a month to just go nuts. It sounds to me like you had a much needed fun day, so good for you!
Hey ghost - being a single parent, I think you deserve a party day every once in a while. We all do, but you gotta take 'em when and where you can!

I am staring down the gullet of another weekend. And I am hoping I have the strength to hang tough. There is a bag of popcorn on top of the fridge, calling to me, every time I pass by. It isn't good, healthy, lo-cal popcorn. Oh. No! It is luscious, yummy, finger-staining, fatty cheese popcorn.
So, I also lift my glass of water and wish you all a healthy, successful, OP weekend.
Haven't eaten yet today
