BackTo My Old Ways

I had a moment of weakness this week after work. I can't explain it, but I'm SURE it has to do with staying up all night and trying to use food to substitute the energy I NEED to be getting from sleep. Anyway, I'm back on track today, and have two more days before weigh in time.

I even succeeded in going out to dinner and drinks with a friend tonight! I had my beloved Tofu Salad and I just chose a diet soda with dinner and suggested we go for a beer and sit outside after dinner. It worked perfectly. We sat on the sidewalk, watched the people, talked, and an hour passed and I was just getting to the bottom of my delicious Fat Tire pint. And, that was all I needed. I didn't cross that "three-beer threshold" and end up going home and eating! SUCCESS!!

I know it's still going to shape up to be a good week despite my little blip over the weekend. It was early enough in the week that I think I'll be fine. I just keep thinking that these are habits that disgust me. They make me feel terrible. I journaled every bit of food I ate, despite going way, way over my WPA. I think it's smart to take note of those kinds of days, so when I look back I can try and pinpoint the whys of why I go overboard sometimes. It's best to take note of it all, not to ignore it like I did in the past. I keep telling myself, if I keep those things up, I'm going to go to my first WI and not lose anything and that's not only going to suck, but it's going to be embarrassing!

Now that my "work week" is over, I'm focusing on getting to the gym for some big time workouts, and basically packing up my closet to take to the beach next week. I've decided that I'll pretty much be there more than here in the weeks leading up to the move, basically just being here for work. Most all of my social things will take place there, so it makes more sense for me to go ahead and take all that stuff down there, and to actually pack my bag to come here. That will be one HUGE item already moved by my actual moving day. I'm also thinking of Craigslisting a lot of stuff too. There are things I just know will end up in the garage or something once we buy our house, and there's no way it will fit in our current apartment. I don't want to have to rent some HUGE storage unit just for a bunch of crap that we probably won't use anymore anyway. So yeah. Busy week. I'll probably be making at least two more Goodwill runs as well. I keep finding all these "skinny clothes" and thinking "really?? I'm going to want to wear that again? Nahhhh...."
