Oh Super Bowl Sunday.

Well, I'm up this morning, and I'll be accountable and record it. It's my first "up" since I've started this. I'm kind of down on myself, but it was the Super Bowl.

My parents took Joe and I out to an early dinner, like I said we went to Famous Dave's. It was good, I thought I was being good when I got their sweet mashed potatoes and green beans as sides. I got Texas Brisket and Baby Back ribs. I ate half of what I ordered and brough the rest home. I thought I was doing so well. I might have done well if it weren't for....

The Super Bowl party that Joe and I hadn't planned on going to. A friend of mine called me, and asked us to come over to her boyfriend's place where they were having a party. When we walked in and saw the spread on the kitchen table, I knew I was in trouble. I brought my own beer (Michelob Ultra Tuscan Orange and Grapefruit), and it was so good I'm never drinking it again. I didn't feel like I was drinking, so I had way too many. There were pretzels and rice krispies treats, and hot dogs, and just about every bad food you could imagine. I tried to be good, but after the beer, my will power went way down and I just couldn't hold back. As I was eating the pretzels, I knew that the scale would show it today. But that didn't stop me.

I'm back on the wagon today. I can't let that get me down, or up? There wasn't a collossal change in the scale, but I should have been more focuses on getting into the 160s, than on the delicious food.

In better news, I went to the mall, and one of my favorite stores was having a sale on jeans ($16.99). So I went in and tried on a pair of size 9s, and I got into them! I was so happy I bought them.

So I'm down another pants size, which is about 2 sizes now. Last weekend, my friend commented on how I'm not longer a drama queen when we go shopping (it used to be bad, there wasn't a shopping trip where I wouldn't burst out into tears because nothing fit) I told her it was because I now know that if something doesn't fit, there's another size up. Well, now there are 2 sizes up! I'm hoping in another 2 months, I'm a size 5! I don't think I've ever been a size 5, so I can't wait.

3.6 lbs until my mini-goal of 30lbs. I've just gotta kick the exercise into high gear, and I'll be ready. I don't think Hell Week could have come soon enough.

My 5.

5. Spending time with my parents isn't as stressful as it used to be.
4. Having the knowledge to know that one screw up isn't the end of the world and knowing I can get back on the right path.
3. Michelob Ultra Tuscan Orange and Grapefruit for being both delicious and dangerous
2. New episodes of my shows tonight
1. Smaller jeans!

Happy Monday to everyone! Hope your weekend was good.

Hey. Things come up. We're always going to have those nights when we drink too much beer or have too many snacks. This is life. Focus instead on your size 9 jeans! That is great news. I'm in this place where I'm struggling between feeling bad about stuff and feeling good. I KNOW that focusing on the positives will get me to my goal. It's hard--but I think it will be worth it. And, as you said, you had a night of snacking and dangerous beer (which sounds really good--never tried that one) but you're not thinking it's the end of the world. It DOESN'T mean you're going to gain all the weight you've lost back. Keep looking forward!

I screwed up at my Superbowl party as well. Let's dust ourselves off, and commit to this week being a better week! At least you had the cajones to post your gain... I was too embarrassed. :(

That beer sounds awesome ... I've never seen it around here!!! No worries about the little increase on the scale ... most likely water retention or dehydration from all the beer or something like that. Focus on the progress. Focus on feeling good about you. Focus on what is "right" not what "could've, would've, or should've" been!!! Have a wonderful day!!
