Cbreeze's Journal, 21 February 2011

This past weekend I didn't check in much here. I think I need to give myself an occasional break from logging every little thing. It's becoming a bit obsessive for me I think. I'm going to go back and try to fill in my food journal as much as I can, but if I can't remember every little thing I will forgive myself. Sunday I did really well and that's because Saturday I did not. Saturday I decided to have a little cocktail out on the balcony with my husband and I was rooting around in the kitchen looking for a mixer. There's plenty o' liquor in the apartment but not much to mix with. The hubster likes vodka on the rocks with olives so he's usually good to go. I prefer it mixed with something. I found a diet rootbeer so I had Mt Gay rum (the best rum imho) and carefully measured out one ounce and went out on the balcony to have a nice conversation and watch the cruise ships leave port in Ft Lauderdale. Well, that first rum went down a little quickly (and rum and rootbeer=awesome, who knew?) so I was back in the kitchen looking for anything to mix another drink with. Yay. Found some diet tonic shoved way back in the corner of the fridge so I took that out and measured out an ounce of vodka and mixed another cocktail and went back out to the balcony while the hubster had another vodka himself and a cigar. That drink didn't go down as quickly, but was still mighty tasty. After our little cocktail hour we had dinner and watched a bad movie which I fell asleep to. When I woke up Sunday morning I felt absolutely awful! I have a hard time believing that the woman who could drink like a sailor on leave had a hangover from 2 itty bitty ounces of high quality liquor, but I did.
Sunday was a bit of a detox for me. Lots of water and very low carb. We spent the day sitting on the beach with a bazillion other people and relaxing and drinking plenty of pure fresh water. I managed to get my thighs sunburned so I'm back to waddling again, but at least this time it's out of pain and not because my thighs rub together when I walk. I'm hoping my sunburn doesn't hamper my walk today or Callanetics, but I'm sure it will.

What I'm grateful for this morning:
Strong Coffee
Aloe Vera gel

Good Morning Cbreeze, sounds like you had a lovely weekend, sorry about the hangover, funny how our systems change...? I too, was able to soak up some sun yesterday, went to see Isabelle in Daytona...beach was not very crowded, but I am sure, it was because everyone was at or watching the race....LOL Hope you have a wonderful week. Enjoy the weather.

It's not unusual for someone on low carb to have a much stronger impact of alcohol in their system than previously known. I don't know the science behind it, but have read it several times in other places. Sure hope the sunburn heals up quickly...please be careful... Much Love.

Thanks ladies. Yeah, I guess losing the ability to metabolize alcohol is gone. Oh well, it was an expensive habit any way. Kind of glad it's gone.

Sorry you got sunburned too. Silly isn't it. I had sunscreen on but was out in it all day. However, I will look great when I get home and will actually look like I've been on vacation so its all good. Not going to think about the sun damage or the impact on my wrinkles! Sorry the couple of drinks bit you in the butt - I too find that my tolerance is different now but thankfully there is coffee! Hope you have a great day in the sun today. Be careful!
