Morning!
Thanks for getting us started MJ and congrads on the 2lbs!!
Well today is going fine but thats more than i can say for Saturday night/Sunday... I swear I have been off the party circuit for a long time and I can't tell you the last time I went out on a saturday night...let alone to the city to party it up. I mean..these days for the most part if I go out it's to a work event where everything is free and stops at a decent hour.
Let's just say that was not the case on Saturday night as I hit the circuit with my younger friends....needless to say it was a bad idea...and although I'm ok on the scale I drank more calories than necessary and then wasted an entire day yesterday recovering so even though I wasn't eating..I wasn't working out or doing anything productive either.
Anyway new day, new week, still plugging on. This is the week where I have a ton of meetings for my restaurant program....so it's going to be a lot of eating out. I'm just gonna try to think light, nothing fried, substitute veggies and salads for things like fries and absolutely no alcohol...it's water and diet coke for me.
I think what I'm going to have to do is go back into hibernation from my friends. I'm going to a folk festival next week and when that is over I think I'm going to try to get back to myself....which means not answering my phone, ignoring my friends and not going out. This was what I had to do to jump start myself in the beginning and get back my control and I think it's time for another round. My friends always get a bit cranky but in the end it's about me and not them and I know that once I go out I have no control at all...and I also do not have the will power to say no to the invitation. I think it will be best if I spend August just concentrating on me, not going out, saving my money etc. so that when September comes around and I start getting really busy again and start having events to attend I'll be ready.
