So, last night was fine. I had a family get-together at my house for my daughter's 15th birthday. My mother-in-law, uncle, brother-in-law and nephew all drank. Just one beer or one mixed drink each. I didn't feel any desire though. Of course, as I have mentioned, no vodka in the house makes it a zillion times easier for me to not drink. I think that is such a weird thing for me. I was looking last night and we literally must have gallons of rum, but I have no desier to drink it. We do have some nice red wine too, but meh, no biggie. Interesting how picky I am about this.
So....as I said last night was fine. Had an extra piece of cake :) making up for a lack of sugar maybe? Whatev, I am not beating myself up about that right now. I am going to give myself a week of just letting my eating be what it needs to be. After that I will start to reel it back in to better eating habits. I had a little trouble sleeping. Seems weird. I read that alcohol is a sedative, but your body gets used to the sedative so it kind of goes in to overdrive in the absence of alcohol. Not sure if this was the case, but it was surprising to have trouble sleeping.
Fighting a headache today, but I think that is from not having coffee until 11am rather than lack of alcohol, or maybe its both. It was interesting when my alarm when off this morning and it was time for my workout class. I usually lay in bed, hungover and think "hell no, I do not want to go get my ass kicked". It is a really brutal class. I didn't have that same thought this morning though. It just seemed fine, like just another thing on my to-do list. I didn't dread it or have to convince myself to go.
Well my noontime optimistic self sees another good, but busy night on tap. No reason to add alcohol to the mix. Tomorrow is going to be tougher as I leave to fly up to see my husband for our anniversary (he is out of town going to school). Well, isn't he lucky, he just got himself a designated driver :)
