206 again today but I know why. First there were the two cocktails I had - gorgeous day, good friends. lots of laughter and two drinks. And I have to tell you I loved every sip. And then dinner happened. One of those nights where we were out of everything so subs seemed like a good idea. And I ordered well - small turkey and lettuce and tomato and hnoey mustard - but when they arrived it was a large instead of a small and I ate half with every intention of wrapping up the other half - especially since it was on white breatd because they didn't have wheat - but something happened (me) and the whole thing disappeared. Guess I should have wrapped up the other half before I started eating. Not sure if that would have helped since my two generous drinks were in charge of my decision making for the evening. But unlike before when I would have eaten the sub and then gone scouting in the kitchen for anything and everything more, I stopped at the sub. And it was really really good. Just felt satisfying to bite into something with a little bit more heft to it than lettuce. And, I didn't gain any weight. And have had a great 'program' day today.
I got a huge amount of work done today on a work project that I've been procrastinating about - and it felt great to accomplish so much. I find I'm doing that a lot lately - accomplishing more, staying on track, getting to the finish line - all because, I think, I'm not suffereing the ups and downs and hangovers of a sugar based lifestyle. I wake up in the morning and feel great and I work my way through the day and feel great and I go to bed and I feel great. Sound boring? Not in the least. Instead of being in a coma/bad mood/aches and pains (not to mention the guilt) fog, I'm here. All 206 pounds of me. Which hopefully will be 205 tomorrow since I've got this HUGE goal for June 9th and I'm no closer than when I first set the goal a few days ago. But I'm still here!
