Better Late than Never

Sorry I didn't post last night. I was out late for Christmas Eve Eve Eve Eve karaoke festivities and was extremely drunk by the time I got home. haha.

Yesterday was an awesome day. I got to see tons of friends and I'm just so happy to be here. :) I also worked out and it felt great! It turns out that my step dad has a treadmill, so I used that. It's been a while since I've been on a treadmill. Even though I like running outisde, I do kind of miss using cardio machines sometimes, so it felt really good. I did the same amount of time it takes me to do my 3.8 miles at home, but the machine said I went 4.5 miles! So I guess that means I was running quite a bit faster than I normally do. That's one thing I like about treadmills - they encourage me to go faster and push myself because you can just turn up the speed 1 or 2 points. It's kind of harder to push yourself that way when you're running outside. I don't have weights here, so I just did some ab exercises after the run.

Eating wise I did really well, too! For breakfast I had carrot juice. Lunch I had half of a sandwich with turkey, lettuce, tomato, and avocado. And the sandwich was pretty small anyway, so half was not much at all. Then for dinner I went to a chinese buffet with some friends. How I managed to eat well at a buffet is beyond me, but I did!! I ate a salad first with lettuce, carrots, and lemon juice. Then I had probably the equivalent of 2 rolls of sushi and a bowl of won ton soup without any dumplings in it (so just the broth). I was then going to let myself get a very small portion of one or two splurges. I walked around looking, but I couldn't decide on what to get. Everything looked good, but there was nothing that I felt like was worth my splurge. So I scratched the idea altogether. Hooray! I did drink a decent amount (although it's the first time I've gotten drunk in about 4 months, so it didn't take too much to get drunk!). I started with a few dragonberry mojitos, which I'm sure has more sugar than a normal one, but still not the worst choice I could make, I'm sure. Then I had a few Mich Ultras, which is one of the lowest calorie beers. Then I had a tequila shot...and a few jello shots....and then I proceeded to be wasted. Lol. But since I ate well during the day, I really didn't feel bad about splurging on the alcohol.

I feel like I've lost like 10 pounds since I've been here! I look SO much thinner than I've been looking. I don't know why! But I'm not complaining!

I'll try to post tonight, but I'm not really sure what my plans are for the night, so it might not happen.

Ciao!
