Happy (belated) Turkey Day!
So, my trip to Ohio was fun. Eight hour drive on Wednesday, perfect on plan, and actually, alot less calories then 1200 (again, big surprise, not). Thursday I didn't get out of bed until late, so I had a normal breakfast and then nothing till dinner. The plan was to have a little bit of everything I liked, and I actually skipped the rolls, which is amazing for me. So, Thursday was fine, calorie wise.
Friday was a disaster. I went to mom's for leftover turkey, approx 4 oz., some 7 layer salad, and one deviled egg, not too bad. My sister had pizza for my nephew's birthday, and I LOVE Cassano's pizza (they deliver anywhere in the US btw). The plan was to have 5 pieces (they are little squares) and I ended up eating 7. Followed by one small piece of cake with one small scoop of ice cream. (not in the plan)
Then, I went to hang out with my dad at the local Moose. Apparently, it makes people in a bar VERY nervous if you don't drink WITH them, so after many inquiries of what I wanted to drink, I ordered a Vodka and lemonade. Bad idea. Seven drinks later, I went home. !!! :(
Ah well, my dad is sick, and it was fun getting drunk with him as it may be the last time, I never know, he's been sick for so long but 7 drinks after not drinking for months beforehand made me incredibly hung over and depressed the next day. Who knew alcohol is a depressant?!?! :P One of the reasons I rarely drink anymore, I can't stand the two day depression afterwards. :)
Today, it's back on track. All things considered, I did pretty good staying on the wagon, except the drunken fall off, I'm back on. :) I won't hold my breath for a loss, I'll be ecstatic with a maintain, and if I gain, well, I earned it and it was worth it.
Hope everyone had a great holiday!
ps. I am quitting smoking (again) tomorrow. I hate that I'm a smoker, it's silly with everything that I have done with teaching and getting/being in shape throughout my life. But nicotine is one ADDICTIVE substance. Wish me luck!
