Scale weight: 122.5lbs

After last night's overindulgence, I briefly contemplated cancelling my plans for tonight and staying in instead. But then I realized that wouldn't be right...I had made commitments to my friends that I should honor. And well, life is meant to be lived fully and down the road, I'm sure a few hundred extra calories isn't going to be mean a lot in the big picture.

9am:
45 mins spinning class followed by 5 mins of ab work

10:15am:
2 oz cajun spiced chicken
steamed spinach
2 slices spelt bread

10:45am: (was still starving!)
1/2 detour bar
This is the last of the stash I had at home, so I'm glad it's gone!

2:15pm:
4 oz steamed chicken
5 steamed broccoli florets
1/2 cup brown rice

4:45pm:
3 oz steamed chicken
7 steamed broccoli florets
15 almonds

Off to NYC to have dinner with a friend that I don't get to see much and then to a party to celebrate the launch of my friends' t-shirt line. It's going to be a loooong night...

Edited to add:
CHEAT MEAL
9pm to 10:45pm:
Delicious indian tapas meal (chaat, spicy eggplant and 1 piece of naan) followed by dessert: almond halva with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream

3 indian-themed martinis with meal

11:30pm:
1 vodka cocktail

1:45am:
1 cucumber martini

2:30am:
small mozerella cheese and roasted pepper panini (to soak up alcohol)

I got home at 5am but it was a good night!

Remember that holidays come only once each year. Two weeks and they will all be over. I'm sure you'll be able to find a happy balance this week, between enjoying yourself but also sticking to your goals. Good luck!

Hey! At least you're having fun and enjoying it all. I could think of worse situations! It's only a pound or two. You know how to bounce back! Have some fun for me too!!!!!!

 

[Roonytunes]

I know you girls are right. I just have to learn to deal with the aftermath of guilt I seem to feel when I splurge outside my planned cheat meal. Hopefully, I'll be able to make the best decisions given the circumstances of each situation.

Today they had a holiday dessert celebration at work and I was able to bypass it entirely. I didn't have this strength and discipline last holiday season, so I know I've made some good progress.

I notice with the added cardio that I'm definitely a little hungrier during the day.. I also plan to keep my carbs in the 20-30% range now to support my cardio activity.

I ordered a heart rate monitor today as well as more af supplement replacements, so I can't wait to get both!
