Setback

I fell off the wagon.  So as of 7/13/12 my weight was at 184.2 -  Then Friday night happened..... Dinner - quesadilla w chicken & a Strongbow ( well over 250 calories Im sure! )  Then we decided to go meet a friend at the bar - Several more Strongbows later & we closed the bar.  Let's try to remember - I am 41 and supposed to be on a strict 500 calorie a day diet.  Needless to say I was very far off of my plan & very intoxicated.  Saturday am didnt show a weight loss or increase.  I was hopeful & very hungover.  So what does one do when one is hungover?  Goto Red Robin for lunch and have a bbq chicken wrap with their incredible french fries with ranch dressing. 

Monday morning weigh in was a bit upsetting but not a surprise. Back up to 186.  :(  No bueno.  I brought lunch with me to work and have been back on since Monday.

This brings us to today, Wednesday July 18th.  Weight 184.4 -  I lost 4 days and a possible 4 lb loss by not having any willpower.  Im just so mad at myself for screwing up.  I know, I know.... I have lost 15.8 lbs since beginning this 24 days ago.  This is good!  This is great! 

But Im so down and depressed it's ridiculous.  I know Im not supposed to "exercise" while on this plan but I need to do something so I don't fell so crappy and maybe boost my mood a little bit.  Im planning on driving back home to Omaha this wknd - see some friends, family, maybe get a break from home for a bit.  This for sure will be another test to see if I can stay on plan.  Really only Saturday I see being a challenge for me.  Im planning ahead of time though so I can take some food with me and make good choices.  No drinking for sure.  This will be a first - not much to do back home but drink.  Wish me luck.
