redwinelover's Journal, 12 April 2010

Well, I'm back. Just spent a great few days with lifelong friends, and had tons of fun, but no exercise and not even close to staying with my diet. I made breakfast so that was a good start. I tried to eat as well as I could for some of the time. Went to Sedona and had a wonderful salad at some restaurant called Wildflower Bread Company. It was so good - I wanted to stop and get one to go! But that was probably the best meal I ate outside of breakfast. And the wine...and a few margaritas, too. Went wine tasting yesterday - hit three wineries and did wine tasting at each of them, plus a glass afterwards at two of those. Bad thing is that took away any food inhibitions, and ate all kinds of crap. Oh well. It's over and done with and actually what I feel worse about is absolutely NO exercise since Thursday! I've not missed four days in a row since I started exercising on Dec. 29th. I hope tomorrow is a good one. Too beat from the weekend, the alcohol, and the almost three hour drive to the airport. Even the shopping we did was at such a leisurely pace that it wouldn't count. I think I hit my minimum calorie burn of 2200 each day (I think - need to check the bodybugg numbers again), but I didn't record any food or drink at all and wouldn't know how to begin. I'm sure I went way, way over. So I'll weigh myself in a few days and see what the damage is. At least I was able to fit into this pair of jeans I bought in the hopes they'd fit by the time we went to Sedona : ) That was an ego booster.
