Yesterday, was an ok day....still sore, but its good sore. Slightly sore when going to sit down...but I love this feeling, it means im getting somewhere, and I feel really good. Not the usuall sluggish obese that i felt before PCP. I went to see sex in the city 2 last night at the drive in movies....man it was difficult to see all the lollies and chocolate up on the screen (telling you to go to the candy bar before movie) - i knew this would happen so I took along some low fat yogurt and cutup apple and banana, which did the trick! Oh man did I want to go out for a cocktail after watching that tho. It was a good movie too, those 4 ladies are in great shape! im going to be like that. yes.
A group of mates are getting together for dinner and drinks tonight... im still deciding whether to go, can I stop at half a beer and half a meal? I will have to, but I dont know if I want to face the challenge... but then again as Patrick said something along the lines of..the more you dont give into your cravings, the easier it gets and the craving goes away. same sort of concept isnt it, if i can go out and eat half a meal and only half a beer and socialise without drinking - thats a great feat for me, and it will make me stronger - I will learn better self control.
ooh man those abs exercises...I feel great relief once Ive gotten through them.
haha yes, damn that cocktail inspiring movie! I hope you stayed with your half meal for the dinner!
ReplyDeletehaha how did it go?
You can definitely do it! It's kinda fun, too. Last night, for our hilariously bad movie night, we played a drinking game. We each wrote down things that would happen in the movie (i.e. a dinosaur tears off a limb), put them in a hat, passed it around and pulled out 3 each, and had to drink each time one of those things happened. It was quite the joke that I would be chugging water. I was well-hydrated by the end.
ReplyDeleteKorf, I hope you faced the challenge out with your friends! This is something I'm going to have to face too, sooner rather than later, so I share your anxiety about it. We can do it though, I think we'll be surprised at how much easier it will be than we think!
ReplyDeleteYes, I know drink and dinner with friends while doing PCP may not be easy. I will go to my fellow teacher's farewell party. I will drive to the bar so that I won't drink.
ReplyDeleteThanks guys! your support is great. I sticked with my half dinner - we ended up going to a Mongolian bbq place (I put way too much soy sauce on so it was a bit yuk). I had 2 halves of a beer (I shared with my partner) - so I know I had half more than I was supposed to... but I stopped there. Man did I want another tho. This blogging is actually brilliant - I am dreading telling you guys I had half a beer extra! I feel bad (but, it will be no more beer from now on). Other than that, it actually was ok to go out and not get 'drunk', it was a good night just catching up with friends.
ReplyDeleteGood for you! It's tough when you're out with other people -- and I have to admit I'm dreading a bit when we're not just eating "half" but eating "different." I hope we get some good advice on how to cope with the social pressure. Awesome job!
