I'm going to whine about wine...

It always starts like every other day, I get up feel optimistic that it is going to be a great day filled with successful choices.  I have my breakfast, water, vitamins and hit the shower.  I look closely for changes in my lumpy physique, hey my lumpy belly seems to be changing shape! It always makes me feel better if I can at least see some changes, even if the back boobs are still hanging in there!  I move forward with my day planning out my meals, adding up my carbs and feel in control.
Then in an instant... life happens... invitations to bbq's, a dinner invite out, the plague of summer time, everyone being care free and enjoying life's great things, wine and food!  This week has been a bit harder for me, for those who are reading this and don't know me I LOVE my wine! I easily could sit and drink a bottle and love every sip! Well it's been 2 weeks without one drop hitting my lips, this in itself hits miracle status LOL...

We went to a friends moving away BBQ, it went as planned, I took my flavoured soda water and ate the burger without sauces and no bun. I kinda laughed (actually slightly embarrassed if truth be told) when the hostess saw me walking away from the table and exclaimed " didn't I put the buns on the table?" I replied " they are there but I have a Gluten sensitivity"  ya I've found telling people about what I'm actually doing always results in the huge lie "you don't need to loose weight" OMG, I do own a scale and a mirror! Then the wine was poured and I drank my soda, huge huge big victory for me!
The past couple days I've been starting to bargain in my head " one glass won't kill me, will it?" Then I think of all I have invested in this, the time, trying to change my mindset and most of all how much happier I have been since day 1! Tomorrow is my 2nd weigh in, I doubt I will loose the 6.2 pounds I lost first week, but the real success this week has been fighting all the challenges thrown at me. It's been tough but I slugged it through! Day by day, inch by inch, pound by pound I am fighting to be healthier and happier.  I have to say going to Gente Bella each morning adds to my super powers to fight off evil!! I've met some really nice ladies there and always feel great when I walk out the door, having the well thought out plan has been the biggest strength in all of this, food, vitamins, exercise and of course the odd pampering here and there doesn't hurt either.  I am excited to start week 3 tomorrow!
