Week #2 - What Was I Thinking?

That was definitely an interesting week. Everything started off really well; I was sticking to my new meal plan and went to the gym both Monday and Wednesday. I fully intended to go on Friday night, until my plans changed. Some friends were coming over so we were going to have a few drinks and watch the game, sounds harmless enough. Not so harmless, Friday night I proceeded to get completely drunk to the point where I was taking my shirt off on request and many other not so memorable things. Needless to say I slipped from my diet. On the bright side, the group ordered pizza and I held back and only had one peice that night and then one in the morning. Normally I would eat 60% of the pizza so two slices isn’t that bad.

After waking up the next morning and having my wife fill in the blanks from the night before I felt ashamed. I've drank in the past (once or twice) but I can only think of one other time were I was so drunk that I couldn’t remember the night before. It's nothing I want to be happy about or joke about anymore, what was I thinking?

I think this last week really got me thinking about my life, my situation, and my goals. There are areas I am very proud of and wouldn’t change for the world; however other aspects need some tweaking. I can’t let trivial things get in the way of my goals, whether big or small, goals are what you strive for in life and what make you feel like you have accomplished something. They build confidence and help you grow. Approaching 25 I feel I still have room to grow and fulfill my goals I have set for myself, not just the weight loss aspect but beyond that.

Overall I have to rate the week poor on account of my drinking on Friday, and therefore missing a gym trip. I don’t see that happening again anytime soon so that is good. I don’t plan on eliminating booze altogether just not so much in a night.

End of week #2, I came in at 176lbs, down 4lbs on the week and 8lbs from the start.

It's hard to believe but I managed to match the first week weight loss.
