I definitely took a step back this weekend. Friday, I was aiming to go out and have 2 beers. Well I instead I had 3, but they were 22oz beers, then a friend ordered a round of shots. Oops, didn't quite stick to the plan. But I had fun.
Saturday I went for breakfast and I ordered and ate world's largest breakfast burrito. Oops. But it tasted good.
Dinner rolled around (breakfast was so large it filled me for lunch too) and my fiance and I didn't feel like going grocery shopping. We ordered chinese instead. Oops. But it tasted good.
The weekend was feeling like a lost cause Saturday night, but when I met up with my brothers, I decided I wouldn't quit on myself. I just drank water and enjoyed the costumes and the time together. Got a good night sleep and started fresh on Sunday.
After running 6 miles I felt a little better about Friday and Saturday. I had a really great time, I didn't make all great choices (in fact, I made several bad ones), but I've done worse in years past.
The damage on the scale this morning was .6 of a pound. I never like to go up in weight, but all things considered, it could be worse. I got to celebrate one of my favorite holidays without totally killing my progress...maybe I had too much fun, but it was .6 of a pound sacrifice I was willing to make.
Now, back to being well behaved, even if it takes me all week to get back to where I was. As a start, I gave away all of the leftover Halloween candy, that way, I can ignore the voices in my head telling me just to taste it :)
Have a great week!
