Yesterday morning we packed up and went to Sonoma. That Guy I Live With's friend/coworker "won" a wine blending/tasting session in an auction, and we made the cut. It was a day filled with wine, food, and a really, really good time.
I guess you could say I was "bad." I had a lot of wine (I can't bring myself to spit into those wine jugs... as Veruca Salt said, "Spitting's a dirty habit") and I got tanked almost immediately. Then, of course, you need to eat to soak up all that alcohol, and our hosts provided an amazing spread: almonds, olives, fig cake, brie, bread, smoked salmon, macaroons... Oh my. I ate. And ate. And ate.
And sitting there sipping on my wine, noshing on all that good food and enjoying the gorgeous day in Sonoma, I didn't feel bad. I felt amazing. If I could feel that way every single day, life would be phenomenal. I knew I had been "good" all week, and seriously, how could one feel bad about a day like that?
Yes, I didn't stick to my diet. And I didn't bring the accordion or computer with me, so no practicing or blogging got done. And really, in my state, either activity would have either been useless or would have yielded hilarious (pathetic?) results.
And yes, last week I only went to the gym once and didn't do yoga at all. I do feel bad about that. I'm finding as I go through this experiment is my biggest "feel bad" issues center around diet and exercise. I thought they might.
So this week, I'm going to prioritize the diet and exercise above all else - even above any social things I may want to do. I think if those requirements are met then all the other ones will fall into place.
I also know I haven't done the videos like I wanted to. It's hard to do videos yourself (I had wanted to video my blood-giving experience, but that was impossible to do by myself), but I'll see if I can get creative with these things.
For today, I just finished a week's worth of blogging for Dog Bliss, practiced accordion for an hour, planned the week's meals and made a shopping list, and blogged here. Still up: brushing Bliss, making a couple of phone calls, and getting my things ready for tomorrow.
New week. Time to regroup and be good.
