We had a great time this past weekend and we really needed it. We started going hard core with this diet and work outs on January 3rd. So far, we've been doing great. But, the hardest part has been that we cut out drinking. It use to be we both had a couple beers or a couple glass' of wine every night. That was the first thing we cut out of our diets. It's been hard. The first Friday night, I didn't even want to leave work. I was so stressed about going home and not being able to relax with a couple drinks. Or not be able to go out and relax. I actually went straight to bed after work that night (630pm) to sleep through my horrible mood because of it. This past weekend, we splurged quite a bit though. We headed out Friday night for some sushi and bowling and had some beers. It was a fun night. My fiancee and I really do have so much fun hanging out together. We stuck to Miller 64's and it was so easy.
Saturday we really splurged. I had a couple beers (again 64's) at lunch with friends. Then, we went over to our friends to have dinner that night. They made a fabulous lasagna with cheesy garlic bread. I couldn't help but chow down on it, it was so good. It'd have been rude not to, right? I also had over a bottle of wine and the fiancee had quite a few beers.
So.... we did gain a little bit of our weight back from the weekend but it was so worth it!
I'm heading out this weekend for a long weekend, girls trip to Florida and I cannot wait. It is drizzly, cold and plain crappy weather here. I'm ready for a small break from it. Just hoping I don't gain a ton of weight while there.
I did have my half birthday. Yes, we celebrate those. The fiancee started it because his birthday always falls around Thanksgiving, so this gives him an opportunity to celebrate without the holidays. I'm such a lucky girl. I got crazy gifts for my half birthday. A beautiful bouquet delivered to work, some black diamond studs, a new camera and some Jessica Simpson heels! Way more than I ever expected and I LOVED it!
The only downside we've had so far this year is my brother. He went to court for his mess and has to do 15 days in jail. This is heart breaking to me. I hate the thought of my baby brother, the guy who means most to me (equal to Fiancee, of course!) sitting in jail. 15 days isn't long, but I still don't like it. He also has to do 50 hours of community service and we are having a hell of a time finding something for him to do. It is a lot harder in the winter time to find things. The hardest part is going to be that he is on probation for a year. He has a serious drinking problem and the terms of probation is that he cannot buy or consume alcohol or be in a drinking establishment. That sucks. I don't know if he's going to be able to do this. All I can do is hope and pray everyday for him.
