Happy Father's Day all you PCP Dads!

Lunch was tolerable. Hard to figure out quantities, but easy re content. Jumbo shrimp from the shrimp cocktail, then took the bits that I could out of the Cobb Salad and left the rest for my husband.  Thank you for your moral support guys. It helped a lot. Bit of a pain to explain that no I wasn't drinking, and no I really didn't want a glass of Sauvignon Blanc when in my mind I was thinking I WOULD LOVE A GLASS )&*(^&^$^&$. But, I love the concept rather than the actual wine and don't think I would enjoy the taste as I am not ready to compromise on my achievements yet.

Went skipping in the park with my husband and one of my daughters. Felt good. Steady pace whilst daughter and husband were having skipping races across the park getting very out of breath. Very, very nice to have the company.

Workout was OK, but the sit ups were pure agony in the last set. All of the last sets are hard these last few days. Still not ready to move from the incline pull-up. Not looking forward to the whole body pushups instead of my knee specials.

Here's to another new week and the last 2 days of the PCP week.

Bleah

Feeling sorry for myself and want to curl into a ball in the corner. Getting ready to do my workout so will have to brave the rain as I can't seem to skip inside anymore. But a nice hot bath after that will make it all worth it.

The bleah part is not the exercise as I like what that is doing to my body. My face is leaner too. It's the thought of having to go out tomorrow for lunch with friends. It's easy to say "eat before you go out", but I have to sit there and drink my water and face other people all drinking lots of wine and eating delicious food in front of me. If I was brave enough to take my scales and weigh out all my food then I would, but I can't face the scrutiny. I have read enough of other peoples blogs to know that you have all gone through something similar. But just wondering if my fear of going out and maybe jeopardising what I have achieved so far and hence my desire to avoid all social situations is normal. I also have a large event on Friday next week, but somehow that doesn't seem as bad in my mind as it will be a buffet and I can float around and avoid the food section. Water in a wine glass also helps. What do you do when you go out?
