DB meeting JB, 1985
My sister is in town this weekend! We usually only see each other a few times a year, so getting together always mean a little celebrating. This distance may change soon though as this trip is to help her figure out if she wants to move up here to Chicago.
So far on the to-do list: a few meals out on the town, some bar hopping, a board game party with snacks and booze, an event with a bake sale, and, fortunately for me, a full day of hiking down at Starved Rock State Park. It's going to be a challenging weekend trying to have fun with my sister like I always do when we're together, and also trying stay focused on my fitness goals. You will very likely see a lot more booze items under my "Beverages" log this weekend. Just sayin'.
The hike should be great though, and I will be making a conscious effort to not go nuts with my food choices. Although within about 20 minutes of my sister's arrival last night she said to me, "I think this trip I should finally try a Chicago hot dog."
Eep! :-)
Have fun and please remember to go "off the log" if you tear it up. You shouldn't feel guilty- I think guilt isn't a very good motivator. Well- it is- but I don't think that is what we want this to be about. We have a friend coming in town for Matt's birthday today and I am sure I will be faced with challenges as well!
ReplyDeleteYes....it is helpful to log it all and see exactly how many calories are in the booze and food...the yummy yummy going out to eat foods...but at the same time...if you go over...don't sweat it. Get over it...try again the next day. Or try to do more exercise the next day (or the day before If you know you are going to splurge) to help cancel those excess calories out!
