Girls Night

The worst day in the world to set a goal for yourself that includes eating perfectly good all weekend is the day you have already scheduled a girls night out with your family.

Picture it. 9 girls. Pedicures, a movie, girl talk and what else you might ask?!?! Yep, lots of treats. Well let me specify, not a lot. But there were several delightful things that I wanted to partake of. Before I left for this little rendevous, the husband had a friend over, who brought pizza and breadsticks.

Temptatitions everywhere people!!!

Since hubby got home early I was able to go to the gym for an hour of good cardio, came home and had just enough time to shower before heading to the party. Pizza and friend arrives, I dodge pizza but stole a breadstick on my way out, good thing I was leaving or I don't know if I would have been so sucessful. DELIGHTFUL breadstick by the way. I ate a Special K meal replacement bar on the way to the party, and when I got there I was greeted with popcorn, m&ms, chips ahoy, doritos, cadbury eggs, and some other little choclate treat... oh, and lots of lovely ladies too.

I was pretty proud of myself, I hoovered that popcorn bowl and my two big things of water I brought. I didn't hoover the popcorn because I was necessarily hungry, but I wanted to keep eating because everything was appealing and I knew I could afford the calories the popcorn offered. (Not to mention I was double dipping into some BAD popcorn that comes in a bag prepopped, this chedder kind. Way good, but lotsa calories.) I didn't even know I wasn't eating normal popcorn so I took in more calories than I thought, but still was really proud of the accomplishment of NOT ONE SINGLE CHOCOLATE!

That's big people. Big time for me. I am a sweet-tooth-aholic who really should atend some sort of meetings for the problem. Pretty sure I could get rich inventing something like that. DON'T STEAL MY IDEA!!

Long story is over, what did the scale say this morning you wonder?!

145.1

And that my friends was worth skipping out on candy. To wake up this morning and know that I do not have an extra pound or 2 to lose again. Hoping I can keep up the good luck through the toughest days of the week for me, Saturday and Sunday.
