Wine whine

Last night was a bit of a disaster on the health front. We went to a work fundraiser Beatles Night. I drank more than my intended 3 small glasses of wine because Graham wanted a second bottle and for some reason I couldn't say no.

Because of this (and the fact that I was still peckish after dinner) I couldn't stop myself from eating the nibbles when they came out. So I ended up drinking and eating my way to over 2000 calories. Which wasn't so bad in itself as I did lots of exercise yesterday, but because it was crisps and cheese I ate far more fat than is healthy.

I have been doing so well since I started trying to lose weight again (lost 3lbs in this, my first week) that I'm cross with myself for not being able to control what I put in my mouth when I'm drunk (and cross for getting so drunk in the first place).

Never mind, it's just one setback and won't hurt in the long run. At least now I know that I can't trust myself, so I'll have to be more strict about stopping drinking after 3 glasses.

It was quite a fun night after we got a bit drunk and started dancing. The band sounded better after a few drinks anyhow, and we stayed until the end (midnight). Felt really hungover today though and it's been a bit of a non-event as I felt so lousy and the weather was horrible. This month's ivy pull was this morning and we didn't go so I'm feeling a bit of a slacker, but there was no way I could have gotten out of bed and to Stanley Park by 9.

Hopefully tomorrow we will go out for a nice hike so the weekend is not a total loss.
