So proud of myself. Last night was Ananda's birthday celebration at a local restaurant. I did not have any wine, fondue, fried calamari, or dipping sauce. I didn't want to be an asshole, it was a birthday celebration after all, so I ordered a gin and tonic, nursed it all night and pounded water. I had some of their sweet potato fries without their dipping sauce. I had a very small taste of the Tiramisu they gave Ananda for her birthday and tasted the chocolate cake that Nathan got for himself. A very small taste on the end of my spoon. The smartest thing I did was fill myself up with the meatballs and sauce I made before we left. I ate more than I normally would. The smart thing about that was that I was already over full with good food and only had one or two bites to taste, I wasn't hungry or even very tempted. It also helped that I finished my workout an hour and a half before getting there. I'm never really hungry after a workout.
The best part about it all is how freaking good I feel this morning. Not the way I usually feel after spending a fun night with the group. And I had a fantastic time! I didn't have less fun because I wasn't drinking or snacking. I had a blast! And I didn't feel like I was getting drowsy when it was time to leave. I was tired, but it was a good, it's time to go to bed soon because it's late feeling, not a holy balls I'm drunk and need to lay down feeling. I also didn't come home and snack on every unhealthy food I could find. I just had some more water and went to bed. Awesome night.
