Yesterday was a much better day -- full of errands and cooking -- productive and drama-free.
Today is noon lift. I'm happy to get back into my old routine (even though I'm thinking of modifying it a bit). I bet I'm super sore tomorrow.
GNI party tonight. I'm in good shape -- relatively low key for me. I'll do some cooking prep this morning and finish up stuff after my workout. It's a "shared" event so everyone contributes.
Yesterday afternoon I was like - yep I'm going to drink and enjoy the food. This morning (I woke up feeling good) I am like - nope, not going to do it. Bets on whether that "mood" changes back this afternoon (sucker bet lol). Oh those witching hours. I am off the sweet train for a few days and that feels good. Wine is the hard part lately. Both my son and his girlfriend like to enjoy a glass in the evening -- temptation island for me. I can smell it from across the room lol!
Maybe wine, but no sweets? Maybe wine and keep the diet clean? It's hard when most of the food will be NOT clean. I'm making 4 things -- 2 are healthy -- but what gets brought won't be (never is). Ugh and double ugh. I just want to stop the constant EFFORT, but I know it doesn't work that way. If I chose less healthy tonight, I will enjoy myself a lot more -- sad truth. But if I chose healthy tonight, I will be much happier tomorrow. Can I get back to MODERATION? It's not been an option for me lately.
Pondering this for a minute, I think I'll chose moderation (hopefully, I don't change my resolve). Lordy, this sounds like a strong stance lol (think, hopefully -- failure wording). Since I'm hosting, I can get away with careful food choices. I'll add a few glasses of wine (starting as late as I can) and KEEP AWAY from the desserts. It's the alcohol-sweet combination that gets me.
EFFORT. It's a MUST. And as much as I'm kicking and screaming right now -- it's WORTH IT. ALWAYS is.
I need my routines. Love my routines. My intention is healthy routines. Later gators.
