The rain has stopped - wow, what a storm.
Outside run planned with weather in the 60s (already). I'm in the mood for an easy run today.
The party was a lot of fun last night. I ate and drank EXACTLY as I wanted to - not too little, not too much. It was delicious food. I ended up not having any appetizers (they were lame - sorry neighbor) and had a glass of wine before dinner. Dinner was a small piece of chicken, 2 stuffed shells, big salad and roasted veggies. No spaghetti, no garlic bread. I had 2 glasses of wine with dinner. I passed on dessert. Tiramisu, pie, cookies and chocolate candy on the table. I had decaf espresso with a splash of amaretto (like a teaspoon's worth) because the flavor is really strong for just a little espresso cup.
I also baked cookies to bring as a hostess gift to each house. Perfectly done and I "allowed" the urge well. I picked out specific cookie plates from Home Goods for each family. Glad I ended up doing it (I thought I had run out of time).
The hardest URGE was when we got home. Left-over cookies in my refrigerator looked so amazing for a midnight snack. I need to write all the urges in my book today -- the list is growing.
P.S. One of the men last night gave up drinking about a year and a half ago and now has given up flour, dairy and sugar because of leaky gut problems. I wasn't the only one eating a bit "differently."
I have other news, but it needs to wait -- hubby is awake and I need to get my butt running and decorating. Stay tuned LOL ... later gators.
