I’m limited on time, so I’ll spare you all of the details of all of the thoughts of food and drink that I had in my head all day long yesterday!
I was hosting a jewelry party, and I had healthy snacks planned, and I was stocked up on Beer and Wine.
I started my day with a 30 minute Core Yoga class, followed by a 60 minute (standard) Yoga class, followed by a 75 minutes Stretch Yoga class.
I drank lots of water throughout the day.
If you read my blog regularly, then you know that I gave up alcohol for the month of January in an extra effort to get the scale going in the downward direction. It’s working for me..
At 6:00 pm yesterday, I could no longer stand the thought of the unopened bottles of wine on my counter top, so I opened a bottle. I poured a 6 ounce glass. I swirled it and I put my nose in the glass and inhaled. It was a beautiful thing. I took a sip. I took another sip. And then I simply sipped on that one glass of wine for the rest of the night. I filled up my water bottle several times throughout the rest of the evening.
It felt like a huge accomplishment.
I did snack all night long on too many almonds, and likely too many baked chips and guac. I am giving myself a good guess on just how many points I ate. The scale is cooperating with me this week, and I really don’t want to mess it up.
I won’t be able to go to my meeting on Friday morning, but I will be going on Saturday, and I’m hoping for at least a one pound loss, but more would be great!
Here are yesterday’s eats, with a guess as best as I can for the evening.
