A Couple Beers and Frosted Flakes

So we had some friends over last night to watch football.  Mostly I was cooking and watching the kids but I indulged in a couple of beers for fun.  For dinner I had 1.5 pieces of grilled chicken thighs, a piece of carne asada and zucchini.  I started to feel munchy not too long after dinner and ended up eating a cookie, some m&ms (yes, they are back in the house for potty training but this is the 1st time I ate some so I'm doing ok) and then, before bed, a bowl of Miguel's Frosted Flakes cereal.  Ugh.  I tried to tell myself to make better choices but myself wouldn't listen.  I know it was the beer that made me not care what I ate.  So today I am trying not to beat myself up.  I wish today wasn't a day off from exercise, I could use the positive energy I get from working out. 

A mom friend and I met with our kids at the playground this morning.  I ran and kicked the soccer ball around a bit but mostly I was just standing around.

I feel like I want to ramble on about my food intake last night but I need to let it go.  Man, alcohol just always makes me want to eat crap.  LET IT GO MICHELLE.  There - maybe that will help. 

The kids are napping now and I'm playing with my running playlist.  I just added "Break My Stride" - I love that song and it seems made for running.  We'll see how I like it when I do my run tomorrow.  Really looking forward to a nice 3 miles and some strength training.  Goodbye Sunday - Helllooo Tuesday!

    I know what you mean! Wine and I have this funny relationship. It always wants to be friends at about 5:30pm. I managed not to have any the last couple of days - it does make a difference!

    Break my stride - what a great song! Gonna go add it now! Thanks!

    Ingi - Yes, alcohol. It would be fine if it were just the calories but it always makes me want to eat fried food (or whatever I can get my hands on). I've been hardly drinking at all lately because of that.

    Once you start munching it's hard to stop. It's not the end of the world - just remember to start new tomorrow!
