VLCD Day #15: DEVIATION!

Here we are again, on the Monday after the weekend. Again, we were out of town, so I couldn't weigh myself on Sunday morning. 

I'm kind of glad.

This weekend was not completely the best diet weekend in the world. I did pretty well though, considering. All the way down to Tucson, I stayed on the programme... even at the gem show I got a chicken caesar salad without the dressing and discarded the cheese and croutons. So basically, chicken, lettuce and 3 tinier than tiny tomatoes. 

Then things went awry. 

We stopped at a wine store and purchased some Valentines celebratory vino. The four of us got 3 bottles. We drank two. For how tipsy I got, you'd have thought I drank both of the bottles by myself, although I only had about 2.5 glasses of it. I don't know for sure because it my glass wasn't empty when it was refilled. I can generally finish a bottle by myself and be comfortably functional between tipsy and drunk, but that is not the case on this madness!

I think it was a combination between the facts that I hadn't (and couldn't) eat anything absorbent all day, and the funky hormones that I am mainlining every morning. I mean I wasn't obliterated or anything, it just snuck up on me. 

Dinner was FANTASTIC! We went to a little restaurant called Kingfisher that is one of S and my favorites from when we lived in T-Town. I had a steak grilled sans butter, and veggies. The problem is that the steak had some sort of (delicious) sauce on it that didn't taste very programme-legal. I was tipsy enough that I didn't really care, and hungry enough that I probably would have bitten anyone's hand off who dared to take it away from me. I ate a bit more than my 100g too, but I gave the rest to S, who is doing a modified version of the programme, as he doesn't need to lose 1lb per day. He "needs" to lost 10 lbs in 43 days. 

I thought I did O.K., but after all the wine and the steak sauce and then the omelette the next morning (prepared with only whites and no cheese or butter) I didn't lose anything this weekend. But that is also O.K. because I didn't gain either.

I stepped on that scale this morning prepping myself for like a 3lb gain, telling myself that it wasn't fat and that it would come right off, but it wasn't even needed! I think that's why I'm not to devastated about the standstill. I totally deserve it. And it was totally worth it. 

I am not going to do it again, but I have been doing so well that it was a welcomed break, and sort of a treat. And the fact that it didn't screw me up just means my stars are aligned and I deserved the treat :] Or at least that's how I would like to look at it thankyouverymuch! And really, I didn't totally bomb or anything, all things considered I was pretty angelic :]

Oh by the way, S got me an AMAZING Valentines Day gift at the gem show... a beautiful Blue Topaz, Amethyst and Diamond necklace. Blue Topaz is my birth stone, and Amethyst is February (V day!) It's so gorgeous! I was totally not expecting that! :D
