This evening is all about staying alcohol free.
My husband students had a guitar competition today and his colleague is staying with us....his good friend and drinking buddy. After the competiton this afternoon I went to the gym and had dinner there. Had a hamburger patty, some brocolli and cheese and part of a sweet potatoe. I was very proud of myself I did not eat the whole thing...I stopped eating when I was no longer hungry. It is rare that I don't finish/clean my plate. It was huge and I had asked for a small one. So I did not feel bad throwing it away.
When I was done I came home and they were not home from their dinner out so I decided at the last minute that the sky looked amazing so I would go out and drive to our nearby rookery to watch the sunset. It was about a half hour drive there and I had already missed the brief sunset, too many clouds, oh well it was still pretty on the swamp/lake at dusk and I stayed and talked with a pilot visiting from wisconsin. His boss is working on a project trying to reestablish the near extinct whooping cranes....very interesting. So my time spent at lake martin was worth the drive.
On the way home at 8:30 I stopped at our local theater to see when jurasic park 3D was playing....not until 9:45. I was going to see it if the timing was right. Not tonight. So I came home to 2 drinking men listening to music. And I got on the computer, which is a great distraction. I don't even have the urge to drink tonight anymore so that is good. They just came in from being out side and now are listening to the "Replacements" never even heard of them. I just got myself a tall glass of water and added stevia vanilla cream sweetener to the glass. It tastes so good!
Thank you for reading my thread.
