Yesterday started off pretty ok. Woke up drank some green tea finished preparing breakfast. It was good. It got much better through out the day until lunch hit. For lunch yesterday we had yakisoba (Japanese fried noodles). The noodles were soggy and I knew that it was just a bunch of carbs that were going to lead me to crash later in the day. I was so right about that!!!
At 3 PM I ate my snack of apple and peanut butter, but I still felt groggy. So I decided to drink a cup of coffee and milk. That seemed to fix me up. I got home on my bike in 19 minutes! That's usually a 25 minute bike ride! I'm considering whether I should drink caffeine from now own before my workouts from now on...But anyway I got home put on my clothes and bam! Went out for my 5K run (which I spent 90% of it straight jogging!!! GO ME!) So I was feeling super good and accomplished you know?
Made dinner, took me an hour even though I had most of the prep done because I truly enjoy it now. Smelling everything cooking, trying new recipes on the spot, it's great. And then... half way through my dinner I get a call from my friend. That they are expecting me to show up for fried chicken night. Like, UGH really?! Now my friends here don't know that I am doing this. I don't know if I want them to know either. Like I guess it makes me feel more vulnerable around them? And I don't want that. So whatever I go and I eat one piece of fried chicken (hehe), a couple of pieces of fried oyster and octopus, and many pieces of fried lotus root. And one cup of red wine. You could imagine that I surpassed my calorie limit by A LOT.
It feels good to spend time with my friends don't get me wrong but when we meet it is literally to drink alcohol or to eat and I don't want that in my life right now. I'm trying to form new healthy habits and my friends are making it so hard! On top of that my other good friend INSISTED that we go to a bar before going home because it was still early (Mind you its 11:45 PM I'd be asleep for an hour by now >=[ but whatever). Now I have two reasons why I can't go to the bar 1) it a WASTE of calories 2) I have a limited budget and if I am going to spend it on something it is going to be wholesome food. So she didn't let me refuse by saying that she would pay for my drink. We ended up drinking two drinks each.
I don't know what to do. I don't want to be put into these situations anymore. Should I just lie? Say that I'm not feeling well or something and I can't go? Don't get me wrong I will hang out will my friends I will drink alcohol but this is an every week thing for them! Sometimes even two times in a week. UGH.
