Girl's Night Out / Dining Out

No exercise today, which was the plan because I am a bit sore and just wouldn't have the time. Instead I went to a Mexican restaurant with girlfriends to catch up. I think I did pretty well for the day. I definitely limited my alcohol intake (one mojito, but it was a tall glass :), fresh-made guacamole and probably too many chips, but I had the ceviche appetizer for "dinner" because I knew it would be basically oil-free and healthy (it was also spicy, so I ended up with more chips than originally intended :)

When I got home I felt like having something sweet. I debated grabbing a cup of the Cherry Garcia Frozen Yogurt in the fridge but decided that I wasn't hungry at all, and it was much better to save those points for the rest of the week. As soon as I made that decision I felt it was a great NSV. I wouldn't have done that a couple of weeks ago.

Tomorrow I don't have any activity planned since I have a board meeting (another dinner out), but it's supposed to be quite nice so I'm going to see if I can fit it in somehow.

Restaurant List

Six weeks into my summer program and I have never paid for my own lunch on a workday (I've also never skipped lunch). There's been a few sandwhich lunches but for the most part, they have been in very nice restaurants downtown. Below is an almost (but not quite) exhaustive list.

Through a lot of running and biking, I've maintained my initial 4 pound gain, so that I've been holding steady at 139 or so. I'm not trying to lose at this point, just stay the same.

The scale is going up!

And I have to stop it. I saw 139.2 this morning. That is completely unacceptable. My thighs also got an inch bigger. that is CRAZY! I've been running more but it is not enough to offset the crazy amounts of food I've been having at all the events, and when I get home.

The excuse I've been using is that my stomach has "expanded" and I'm hungry more often, but that is just not true most of the time. I'm eating out of boredom, stress, or just because. It has got to stop.

Bad week

I haven't tracked at all this week. And yesterday was a fantastic and very extravagant dinner at Grill 23 (steakhouse). Today it's TOM and I feel super bloated and in pain. But at least DBF and I looked good at the dinner! :)
