My journey to lean, strong, athletic and fit through the miracle of progressive Kettlebell Swing Combination training. My food strategies to deal with weight loss, and compulsive overeating, after losing more than 100lbs., and maintaining such a tremendous weightloss for more than 4 years....

I had a wedding to attend, it was beautiful by the way, so I knew I was going to drink and eat late. Most of my junk pig out was actually before the reception, between 11:30 - 3:00. I had a large broccoli salad to make sure I got some kind of raw veggies in my body.
The drinking made me not care how much I was eating, thank God I don't drink, but after 4 dinner rolls slathered w/butter, I didn't even eat my entree (salmon, mashed potato/veggies)or cake! Drank and danced the night away, slept incredibly well, an awesome evening.
The weekend couldn't possibly get any better at this point. Life is good.
Sounds like you had a great weekend! Love to hear that you had fun. I let myself have some margaritas and enjoyed every bit of it! Oh yeah and Coldstone Icecream. mmmmmmmmmm

ReplyDeleteYou ain't kidding about drinking making you hungry!!!!!

This is an appropriat use of alcohol, in moderation and celebration. Wish I would have learned that oh, about 15 years ago. LOL
Sounds like you had fun.
Lauren, I wonder if they have Coldstone or something like it in Minnesota, at the cert. If they do, I'm totally treating myself next weekend!
ReplyDeleteRoyce, Why??? It's not so much that it MADE me hungry, I just didn't care! I was walking around with "buddha belly"!
ReplyDeleteAnd, it was a celebration! I knew I would be seeing a few people that hadn't seen me since I was heavy, they almost didn't recognize me (their words). And I got to wear a smokin' new dress!!!
and I got to stay home and watch UFC 70! A perfect night was had by all. well, almost.....
ReplyDeleteYeah Cro-Cop getting anihalated like that made me very sad!!
