I'm not weighing myself until Wednesday. To say I was bad this weekend was an understatement. I just have a feeling I'd be really mad at myself if I got on the scale today or even tomorrow.

Eugh, I've had a horrible week. Too much drinking (too many days of drinking a glass or two, not drinking multiple glasses), not enough time to go to the gym. It doesn't help that for a few more days, my gym is still 15 miles away and it's been cold and rainy the entire week. I can't go for a quick ten minute run around the neighborhood when it's downpouring. I mean, I could, but I'd rather not slip ('cause I'm slick like that) or getting sick from it (possibly).

More drinking on the menu today, but I'm hoping to take it nice and light. I have a client meeting at 2 pm today with an old friend and boss. I'm working on a menu for his restaurant, one I used to work at in college. Even if I try to get to the restaurant we're meeting at early, he'll be there with a drink for me. I just know it. Also, he and I haven't seen each other in almost a year, so one drink to good times will happen even if I beat him there. It's also Friday Night so duh, of course we're going out and doing something—karaoke, dancing, house party, late dinner, something—and at least one drink will be consumed. For diet and early morning yoga purposes, I'm hoping to keep it at purely social drinking, no buzzes allowed (if you've ever done a shoulder stand, you'd know a hangover belly is not what you want to have).

....Yeah.

Tomorrow is my youngest cousin's high school graduation open house, so that will involve BBQ pork and potato salads and cake and other delicious desserts. I think I'm going to try to stock up on the BBQ pork (no bun!), with fresh veggies, maybe a fruit salad if they have it, and then a sliver of cake because it'd be weird not to (my mother basically considers it rude if there's cake left over at these functions). Gym when I get home...and we'll see what happens the rest of Saturday night. I'm hoping to coax a friend over who is helping me with a—don't laugh—fan video for the Star Trek Convention. I can win $100 and be on the same stage as a Trek actor when they give me my money! We have just a week left to get it done and we haven't even started! Hey, we won't be drinking while we do that. ;)

So...no run tonight. At the end of class, four girls randomly invited me to dinner at the gastro pub across the street. I was just there for a makeup class, I had never met them before...and they invited me to dinner with a smile! I couldn't object.

I tried to be good and had just a small glass of wine, a turkey wrap and fresh fruit. Not horrible, sure, especially after we did near-cardio in my yoga class (Sun Salutations—a fast-paced sequence of ten up and down poses multiple times—are HARD), but it might not have been the best thing for the diet. Oh well. I decided a long time ago that I'd prefer to be a little heavier than I'd like and be social. Watch myself when I'm home and choose healthier options while I'm out, but I can't not live. If someone invites me out to to drinks I can't turn it down because it would add 200-300 calories to my diet. That's just not who I am. :)

Tomorrow is another social gathering, this time for a profession-oriented event. One of the US's largest typographers (someone who deals with type) is in town for a talk. I've been a fan of hers for two years now, so that will be exciting. The first hour is always local drinks, but I'll have just one there. :)

I had a Groupon for an awesome wine deal, and I couldn't turn it down. My four bottles came in yesterday and since I don't remember the last time I had a glass of wine, I had to have one with my movie last night. Broke the challenge and added an extra 150 calories or so. Eugh.

I'm doing a yoga makeup class tonight and then hopefully going for a hard run through the neighborhood after the class. I need it, but it all depends on the weather. Leftover cake and wine have made it so I haven't had any calorie loss this week, really. Vegas is coming! I need to look good! ARGH.

I WAS going to go for a run after yoga tonight, but I'd probably pass out from heat exhaustion. It's 90 degrees outside and so muggy I'm sweating bullets INSIDE, where it's only 80 degrees (it's usually 83 degrees in my apartment, so its not like that's hot for me). The Weather Channel says it's only 60 percent humidity outside right now (ONLY!? It feels like 90%!) but it's supposed to rise up to 90 by the time I get out of yoga! If it feels like this now...it's going to be basically hell during/after yoga! Yikes!

Update: I didn't end up going to yoga because a BAD storm just rolled through. It was so dark I couldn't walk through my apartment without lights, my part of the city got 2.5 inches of rain in 25 minutes (!!!!!), there's a foot of flooding on a ton of roads, several tornado spottings, etc. However, right after my last available opportunity to leave for yoga (6:55), the sun started to come out! Of course! Cleared quickly! We're not out of the clear yet because of the flooding, but there's also a turning storm directly south that has stayed put and hasn't moved in an hour, but it's supposed to move directly at me at some point...so the possibility of a tornado is still looming.
