Like many of you, I experienced my first social eating challenges this weekend. Yesterday, we had a BBQ with some good friends from Boston who we don't see much...but when we do, we have fun preparing and eating lots of yummy food. It was a day of grazing here, picking there, and then trying to figure out a half portion of all the glorious foods on the buffet. I think I did OK, eating less than I normally would, but probably a little more than half overall. I decided to stick with water instead of alcohol all weekend - which is a big switch for me. Booze just wasn't calling my name, perhaps because I'd already told myself, "It's time to make some changes around here!"
Interestingly, I didn't have such a major energy crash yesterday. Perhaps because I ate a little more than the previous days? Not sure. Today we had a bit more of a normal day and I really stuck to the half diet - and again, HAD to nap around 4 pm.
Still loving the morning workouts! This morning I thought, I'm so glad I'm doing this project. I've also loved reading all your posts - keep up the good work, y'all!
I've noticed a similar thing. Now that my mind is gearing up for the real pcp diet, the things that I'm not going to be able to have are starting to lose interest for me. I went out for drinks and burgers with friends last night and didn't finish my burger or my beer. I was just done; not interested in anymore.
ReplyDeleteI was too sleepy and sunburned to workout this morning and I am regretting now that I am still sleepy at work. The morning workouts are so great for getting the energy going.
oh wow! props to you for making the alcohol to water switch!
