Pretty disappointing result last week, wasn't it. But as I'm sure you're aware I had my little blow-out on Friday night and paid the price on the scales the following morning. But it gets worse. Saturday night I attended a 40th party and proceeded to fully immerse myself in the festivities. I did manage to limit my hors d'oeurve's intake and also concentrated on polishing off the supply of quality red wine rather than a thousand beers. Small mercy's I know but its better than nothing.
So of course after such a weekend of frivolity it was time to knuckle down and get the train back on the tracks, so to speak. So far I've been pretty successful at that. I'm pretty confident I can nudge under the 120kg barrier by Saturday and reach or exceed that mini goal of 119kg by my party.
This last month or so certainly has been a path to self discovery and Sunday was a good example. It's one thing to fall off the wagon for a night or two but it's the day after that has often been a killer for my waist line in the past. You know that hung-over feeling that lasts all day and only seems to be kept at bay by greasy food and regular a Coke injection (Coca-cola that is). So on the back of two crazy nights, Sunday was always going to be a big challenge.
Success! I got through. OK, maybe 1 can of coke, but that's a win for me. So as I sit here tapping away at the keyboard on Tuesday morning I've almost recovered back to my pre-Friday weight and it's onward and upward from here.
On the home front Naomi headed off this morning for four days at Band Camp (and no she doesn't play the flute!), so I get an unexpected fathering break for a few days. I'm looking forward to my 40th party in a week or so and with all my siblings now attending it's bound to be a cracking night.
I'm putting together some music playlist's for the party. I've decided to theme the music 80's as it really was the soundtrack to my youth. I figure almost everyone attending is in a similar boat so it should get a few people up on the dance floor. So if you have any must play requests or songs that no 80's collection is complete without please feel free to comment here or drop me a line on facebook.
I've included a photo of me and brother Mark from the party on Saturday night. Dress for the evening was not-surprisingly 80's so I decided to channel Jake Blues and as expected there was already a few Miami Vice outfits there.
