While I am writing this post I can't help but be disappointed with myself for my night of alcoholic indulgence. It was a great night out with my 'homie' and a group of foreigners, who she had hosted. They drank like sailors and I was in my glee. Although I fully well know how to 'throw down' a few, that night I had overdone it.
You see, I know the side effects of alcohol, short and long term. Outside of the bad hang over, the weight gain and the disappointment is as serious or even worse when you are on a fitness journey. Something or someone, a voice, a signal, my conscience should have told me " STOP! Your belly fat and double chin will reign supreme so don't have more than five". But there was no one and nothing, not even a soca song reminding me of my carnival goal. Sigh!
Anyway, I am trying not to beat up myself and recover from all those empty calories I consumed that night. As the saying goes 'small thing man'. Now that that's in the past, moving forward, I plan to cut back on my carbohydrates and boost my protein intake so I can get back on track.
Below is a nice reminder of that sweet but sour night.
Regards,
Renee
