3 Steps forward; 1 step back!!!

Well, no one said this was going to be easy. My first HUGE hurdle was this weekend when I went for a get away to the beach! It was chilly and stormy and just called out for alcohol and comfort food. I did fairly good in the morning, had my 2 eggs; 2 bacon and 1 glass of grapefruit juice. I took all my vitamins and Saturday I went for a 2 1/2 mile walk around the docks in the marina and the town, I did get a coffee with fat free hazelnut. Felt good. Saturday afternoon I met a girlfriend for lunch. I had a Caeser Chicken Salad with lite dressing, good I know. BUT THEN ...... I got a beer! Not the end of the world, I know, and I did have that great walk! Saturday night it was a steak and salad. Good again, I know. Sunday, well here is were it goes down hill. I got up, had my good breakfast, went down to the Pub to watch the Cowboy game, because I didn't have cable at the house to watch the game. Stopped and got myself a coffee, but it was a Phoo-Phoo coffee i.e mocha hazelnut latte-medium. I couldn't go into the bar and not drink something!!!! The Cowboys were losing so that lead to a Bloody Mary or two, then Lunch with my girlfriend again, which was a turkey, bacon, guacamole wrap (the wrap is what did it) and a beer. Then, some other girlfriends wanted to meet me at another bar so I started drinking Bayley's there (that's the comfort thing). And another steak and salad dinner. So, it was the drinking that got to me and causes a 2 pound gain today and I blame it on my girlfriends! My girlsfriends are what's making me fat!!!! LOL. Just kidding, it was all my decision making. But the point to learn from this week is socializing can be a huge hurdle. One that needs work in my case. I either need to be stronger, or dump my girlfriends! I'm thinking, get stronger!!!!
