So yesterday I started off the day really well... I purchased a few of the slim shakes from the gym and was happy that I was able to stomach them better than the optifast and I checked the calories and they are pretty closely on par with Opti. Bit cheaper too I think...
So going to substitute 1 meal a day for the moment.... yesterday I was pretty good. I had the shake for brekky, wasn't hungry again till 11am and then had an apple for lunch I had a chicken and salad wrap that I made at home myself and then for a snack I had a small piece of homemade chocolate cake that I made for the family.... I thought that was a pretty good effort considering I normally would have eaten several pieces at 1 go... Last night my partner and I went out to dinner and drinks with friends.. we just went to the local club but I had a great time... First time I had been out and away from the kids in ages... and well needed.... So I ended up having a roast roll with a few chips and gravy for dinner... I ate half of it and was happy with myself... the meal was way too big anyways... had several jim beam and cokes though and am feeling slightly seedy though but I have to say thats the first time I've had a big drink like that for at least 8 mths... and it was nice to socialise again...
I have stopped going out and doing things with people for a few reasons, 1 being that I just don't like to drink every other weekend and prefer to save it for special occassions... which is hard when most people in your family and social circles are drinkers... and 2 because I think about my weight and health and just don't need to feel like crap after drinking... and 3 what a waste of money...
Anyways... had a great time but that will be the last of my outings for a while... I don't care what people think... I just don't see the value and getting on the charge all the time...
On another note.... I felt really good about myself last night... normally to go out I do the whole make over etc before leaving the house, new clothes, hair done etc... but last night I just chucked on something simple out of the waredrobe and dressed it up with some nice jewls... I straightened my hair and I was off.... I got approached at the club by a man who obviously didn't realise that I was there with my partner... I couldn't believe that someone was trying to chat me up... we then left and went to another local tavern where the music was a bit more interesting... As soon as I walked in this guy came up to me and hit me up straight away for my number... Firstly not interested in either of these guys lets make that point, the 2nd was kinda hot too and maybe in another life I would have considered giving him my number but I just couldn't believe that these guys were looking in my direction... I mean I've been living under a rock for a solid year now not really going out anywhere social.... So it made me feel good about myself for once to have someone else, new and outside of my networks to notice me...
Imagine how good I'm going to feel when I fit into a pair of Levi's 501s..... that is a dream alright...
