Trying to Hold On

My "freedom" food choices have run amuck.

Entertaining makes good choices hard.  Out to dinner is fine -- one meal, no left-overs -- done.  Entertaining means leftovers (and "pre-tasting") -- and you bet they aren't the healthy kind.

Wine (2 half opened bottles), cheese, cake, pie, cool whip (don't judge!!) and bacon.  All sitting pretty in my refrigerator.  I can't throw it out because hubby wants it too.

I feel bloated and gross today.  We were up until after 11 o'clock (that's practically an all nighter for me).  I need a clean eat day today and a hard, sweaty workout.

Both feel daunting when I'm sitting with a food coma and weekend jet lag.  (P.S. Heard that term for when you stay up much later than normal on the weekends and it's like you flew to the opposite coast - yep it feels like that.)

That said -- dinner was fun, company was great, food was delicious (if I do say so myself).  We need to extend ourselves more and get back to entertaining.

On a side note ...
I'm making an effort to use my STUFF for entertaining (and everyday).  If I own it, I should use it.  I'm a saver or a protector of my nicer things.  Nope -- using it.  Wine glasses from my parent's wedding, good pottery for the salsa, new placemats and my favorite cloth napkins.  Everything survived.  I weeded out so much of my junky stuff, I almost have no choice but to use the better things.  Forced into the action I want -- there's a win.  (Why isn't eating healthy this easy??)

I slept until 7:30 and hubby is already out the door for golf.  Time to myself, but I have no energy or motivation to get going -- dang, bad timing on my part.

One thing I'm really good about (so is hubby) -- getting the house back to normal after an evening entertaining.  Everything is washed, put away, wiped down -- nothing bad to wake up to and that helps a lot when I have no inclination to move by body LOL.

I'm picking up my foster (PJ) early this afternoon.  It's a HUGE treat to have someone else do the pickup and transport closer to me.  Fingers crossed for the little guy.

Hope you have a great weekend!  Heading to PGA East Lake tomorrow -- long and hot day.  Another reason to get my crap in order today.  I'll need all the energy I can muster between the outing and a new foster.  Later gators.
