I did great- i would list it all out, but it's boring (because it's "healthy eating choices" verses chocolate covered chocolate...) and then my husband came home from work. and he had surprises (which he'd ordered for valentine's day, but they arrived today.) he had a t-shirt for our three-year-old and a teddy bear for the baby. and he'd ordered two nice solid beer mugs for me and him. they were very cool. and it was absolutely the most gorgeous weather outside when he got here with said mugs. so, he offered to pour us some beers and i said, "no, thank you." i really did. i said, "no" to a beer (something i am known to NOT ever do.) i asked for water in my mug instead. he made an incredulous face, but acknowledged that i was serious and he went to the kitchen to pour a beer and a water. and then my daughter opened the door to the outside and the sunshine poured its own tall drink of beauty into my living room, and i crumbled. i really did.
i called to the kitchen to scrap the water and pour me a beer. and yes, i was sure.
i sat here, watching the sun hit my daughter's face, and knowing that sitting outside watching her play in the yard, and watching him drink a beer in his new beer mug, and having me drinking water out of mine, was just not going to work for me.
what point is it to being skinny if i'm not allowed to have a beer on one of the first beautiful days of the year? i do have priorities, after-all. and my priorities (no matter how much i love my pre-pregnancy clothes, and i am SO ready to get back into them), my priorities are to enjoy my evenings with my family in a nice and relaxing, beer-in-new-mug-in-hand, way. and, so, i did!
