We had our year end party with the parents and teachers last night for the children's school. A great night, really fun. Had my water in my wine glass as is the norm for me now. Makes me feel better than having water in a water glass. And everyone around me was so trollied they didn't realise it was water that I was drinking!
But, I am not good at eyeballing grammes. Interesting reading Patrick's e-mail today...... I have been fanatic about grammes and weighing and taking my scales out with me. But I didn't have them last night. The food selection was fantastic actually. Amongst lots of other things they had a huge tray of roasted veggies and also some chicken. So that is what I focused on. But it was so good and I thought I hadn't had enough veggies the first round as it was one of those small plates that I went back for a second round of veggies and a bit more chicken. But, I think I may have taken too much chicken. Also not sure if it was too much veg. However, I then figured I needed to relax and let up on myself a little bit as opposed to being spastic about it. It wasn't as if I was eating non PCP complaint food. Also I started to eat at about 7.15pm and didn't leave the venue until 1am (husband's glass miraculously kept filling itself for about 3 hours as I was trying to go home), so had quite a bit of time to burn it off..... no fruit though which is weird in Japan as they always serve fruit. Declined the yummy looking chocolate mousse.
Will be working out later this evening as it is too hot at the moment.
Was very excited to read Patrick's e-mail. Am "planning" my indulgence. With great pleasure I am going to buy one of those little bottles of red wine. I will go to a proper wine shop, not my local Japanese supermarket. And I will sit on my patio. Have already told my husband that I am indulging today and that it is not a derailing. Had many fabulous comments last night about the changes already, and am very psyched about continuing to get better and better and better.
I had a giggling fit whilst reading this week's question thread and Peter's comments. The whole family wanted to know why I was laughing, but it wasn't something that could be repeated to a 9 and 10 year old (even though the 10 year old just had her sex education source this week).
