Well, after one heck of a busy weekend I am back and ready to kick some butt this week. With my 0.4lb whoops of a "gain" at last weigh-in included, I slothed off 2.6lb last week bringing me to 187.6lbs...and I cannot complain after the disappointment of last weigh-in.
The weekend was difficult. Saturday I spent the morning researching/visiting wedding venues with my mother and sister, had my hair cut, and had to run a bunch of errands all afternoon. Water intake was definitely down, but likely still high enough to be sufficient, and it was a struggle to get in all 5 MF meals.
Sunday was my first real struggle. This bridal shower I've been planning was at 3pm. I had my L/G before I went over to help set up, because I knew there would be a ton of food around and I didn't want to get hungry in the midst of everything. I underestimated how much I would be affected by the presence of so much food. The bride has a big Italian family and there was no end of homemade pasta, sourdough bread, bruschetta, caprese platters. You name it - we had it...including a spread of 4 gourmet cakes compliments of yours truly. Passing up the cake was ok for me...I had been planning the cakes for weeks and had prepared myself against the cake mentally. Even serving it and with frosting all over my fingers it was not difficult for me to wipe the frosting off instead of licking my fingers.
Let's just say, after an extended period of watching over fifty women devour incredible food, it was really getting to me. I made a conscious decision to avoid eating anything with carbs or sugar, but did have a few slices of cheddar cheese and a good size handful of cashews. At one point I felt really down about having done so, but then I stood back and evaluated it and realized...geez, I could have totally shoved my face in giant slice of triple chocolate cake, but I didn't and that is huge progress for me.
Following the shower, we met up with the boys at their "manshower" at a local bar/grill where they had been hanging out all afternoon. Everyone was drinking wine and ordered dinner and I just put down several pint glasses of water with lime and didn't stray again for the remainder of the evening, opting to cut out a MF meal to balance things out. I woke up this morning, had a bar for breakfast as I headed out to drive back for work (3+ hour drive this morning = yuck) and am getting ready for some apple cinnamon oatmeal.
Hoping for another 2.6lbs this week so I can hit 185!
