Sundays are NOT recovery days. This is two weeks in a row that I’ve gone to a festival, pigged out, and felt horrible on Sunday!! Ug. This has to stop. Thank goodness there are no festivals in the future.
We arrived at the wine festival at 1pm. I don’t really remember much from 1-5:30, except that I tasted a lot of wine! We had a crabcake sandwich around 3:30, followed by a handful of free samples from a grocery store. Calories consumed? 1,000??? Here’s a quick photo recap, including a debut of ME!
We met my mother-in-law for dinner at 5:30. We made our way through the mall (where the festival was) to kill some time.
Dinner was at a fabulous Mediterranean restaurant called M5. Although I had sobered up some by dinner, of course I decided to order a cosmopolitan! Another mistake!
We shared hummus, bread, and olive oil for appetizers as well as some escargot! I had a few bites of each. Sorry, no photos!
For dinner I had seared halibut (one of my favorite fish!) with a side of vegetables. It was AMAZING but totally covered in butter and oil. YUM!!
We also got a bottle of wine. I had a glass. Can you see a destructive pattern here?!
Then, we got TWO desserts!!!!!!!!! A raspberry-lemon tart and a molten chocolate cake. Luckily they were small, but I ate more than my share. Bad!!!
So to recap, I am embarking on a three-week master devotion to being as healthy as possible. My 25th birthday is October 26 – and I want to be as happy on my birthday with my body and health as I was on my wedding day!!
Goals:
- Back to logging on Calorie King – 1226 net each day.
- Weigh myself each morning, even if I feel “full” : )
- No alcohol or sweets – I do NOT deserve them! I’ll have both on 10/26
- Make it through 2 weekends of consistent eating (no “treats” because it’s Saturday night)
- Keep up the healthy cooking and exercise (that’s the easy part)

Good luck making your goals for the next two weeks! Looks like you had a fun time at least…we all need that…but we all need to be able to get back on track…and I know you will! Good luck this week! Yay for your long run today!

So weird to see only 1 comment on a KERF post! Look how far you’ve come in a year…
Also, look how far you’ve come in terms of moderation. I think I’m probably still where you were at this point, but hopefully I’ll eventually get to where you are now. Maybe next year.
Congrats on your AWESOME time this morning!!! WOOOHOOO Kath!!!!!!!!
I was thinking the same thing as Emily! You definitely don’t seem to have this issue anymore! I’ve been maintaining a 35 lb weight loss (165 to 130) for a few months now and I’ve come a LONG way from how I use to eat, but I still have days like this. A “bad” day here and there (usually is more like a bad meal/dessert on the weekend) hasn’t effected my weight so far, but I have wondered if my need for a “splurge” day (pretty much once a week) will ever pass. I was almost comforting to read this post! Thanks for linking back to it.
