Oh lordy, what am i going to do? I was prepared for a splurge tonight at a high end steakhouse and I probably would be fine if it were my only splurge of the week. Truth be told, it is probably 1 0f about 4...
I tried hard to eat light during the day in preparation for a big dinner. I did fairly well until the dreaded bread basket finally hit the table. This bread basket was particularly evil because it had a variety of different treats to sample (including a giant soft pretzel stick) and so I had to nibble on them all. I ordered pea soup followed by a 13 oz. filet! I immediately cut that sucker in half, there was no way I was eating that whole damn thing in one sitting. The table ordered some fries to share, which I partook in although I got crazy full crazy fast. For dessert I opted for fresh fruit instead of ice cream or cheesecake. I did ok. To put things into perspective, of my weekly 35 flex points, I have 12 left for the next 5 days. Bah!
The trap I need to avoid with all my might is giving into failure and scrapping this whole week. Even if things don't end up perfectly, I need to try and try like I know I will succeed! It is possible but I have to make it so. And I've learned a few lessons: just say no to bread baskets, there is no room for alcohol, and don't stuff yourself silly just because you're getting a bargain.
Be aggressive! Be be aggresive! B-E A-G-G-R-E-S-S-I-V-E, goooooooooooooo me!
