So I've had a pretty good loss. I'm working out, sore, but feeling better and more energy. I've stayed on plan with my eating. I'm in a good place so of course I hit my first bump. A friend asks me to hang out for dinner and drinks. Yes, high fat foods and drinks is exactly what I need right now.
I usually avoid these things, but it just makes it harder the longer I push it off. I end up in a binge when I finally go out. So I made a plan. I just happened that hangout day and workout day were on the same day, and I did a harder workout that usual (t 25 alpha total body circuit) Breakfast and Lunch were on plan. By the time dinner rolled around I wanted to eat my foot. More on that later.
Anyway, decided I would have one glass of wine and I nursed that for 2 hours and then switched to water.I think its a mental thing, but sitting around sipping water while everyone else is drinking is kinda meh...so the wine helped.
I'm low carbing so I avoided anything with rice, pasta or potatoe. By the end I was full by ok, not stuffed. My only issue was because I was so hungry before I got there I went hard on the free chips and salsa. Blah. Dinner was a steak quesadilla. No rice or anything else. I thought about getting a salad but just couldn't do it. It wasn't temptation, just burnt out on salad
I got up this morning to having only gained a tenth of a pound (368.9 to 369). Stupidly happy. To address the hunger from working out. I bought a plant based (with low carbs) protein shake. So next time I'll drink that before I head out.
This doesn't mean I'll be driniking and eating out regularly. I still have alot of places I can't go, but it was a bump. I dealt with it and managed to get over it, which is the important thing.
yay me
