Weekend Fun! Maybe it was a little too much...

Mr. and Mrs. W, just about to hit the road

So this past weekend, we attended a wedding.  Our friend found the love of his life and tied the knot on Saturday.  It was a beautiful ceremony and a lovely reception.  Apparently, I had a little too much to drink that afternoon/evening that resulted in a less-than-desirable feeling.

What's a girl to do?  As some of you may know, I am on a bit of a healthy journey, getting into shape and improving my health.  I usually allow room for indulgences, but perhaps, it was a bit too much this weekend.  I came to the conclusion that I will not dwell on making a bad choice one afternoon.  Instead, I am going to resume my healthy habits, which I started yesterday (Monday).  I had cooked my meals on Sunday for the majority of the week and I hit the gym as usual.  I drank lots of water to stay hydrated.

In the past, when I ate or drank horribly, I'd put myself down and thought that was the end of things, I should just not care what I ate or drank from then on.  Now, I have a new mindset.  Have your treats within reason and just move along.  One meal or one beverage bender isn't going to undo all the good you have done.  You can have a drink, but not 10.  You can have an ice cream cone or a cookie, but maybe not the whole carton and/or batch.  A friend once posted a graphic of a smashed cell phone.  It said something like, "Continuing with the cheat meals after a cheat meal is like smashing your phone when you've dropped it."

Even though I account for the treats when I plan out my meals and activities, sometimes the cravings pop up.  My cravings are usually for either sweet things like cookies and cake, or crunchy salty things such as Cheetos.  I think to myself, "I can have some when it is the designated indulgence meal," and either have some fruit or veggie sticks if I'm hungry or find another activity to do that is not food-related.  That usually stops the craving.  Come indulgence meal time, if I still want it, then I will treat myself.

How do you deal with cravings?  Do you give in?



Makeup details, for those interested.  Obviously, I am wearing a full face of makeup, but these products are the ones worthy of highlighting at the moment.
Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Love that Red (pretty color, smooth application, not drying but lightweight)
NYX Slim Lip Pencil in Hot Red (long lasting)
Red Cherry Lashes in #66 (first time wearing them out, bit of a lash newbie.  Liked the look, relatively easy to apply and not terribly uncomfortable.  Discomfort is probably from not being used to wearing them.  Applied with Duo Striplash Adhesive Dark Tone.  They were on for 12+ hours!)
Zoya Nail Polish in Carmen (my fave brand!)
