I was at a wedding on Saturday down in Dorset, which was my first ever sober wedding experience. At one point I was very close to having a drink but I knew that if I turned the tap then the dam would break in spectacular fashion and then I'd have to suffer the consequential self loathing the next day. But I'm happy to report I successful saw off the urge. I didn't quite stick to the diet but I wasn't too bad considering the circumstances. I had a little cheese and a very small piece of cake to I'm just going to put that down as my 'indulgence' for the week. I'm also happy to report that I managed to keep up the exercises having packed the bands and the rope. So all things considered, it was a successful weekend.
I did get quite a few negative comments though (what's the point, sounds daft, what a waste of money, pay me to tell you not to drink etc etc) and I got a tad bored with everybody wanting to talk to me about it and offering me their pennies worth of advice. On the plus side though there were positive comments too which was nice and helps reinforce the old motivational requirements as we head into week 8 (or is it 7?)
The exercises look like they've ramped up again this week, I'm looking forward to giving them my all. Bring on the burn! And I'm still enjoying 8MA, they're still hurting, especially the one where you reach for your feet. I did some digging around and found out that the guy in the video is called Jamie Brenkus. I'm quite disappointed by this as a friend of mine led me to believe he was called Chad, which is far more fitting hahaha. I will continue to refer to him as Chad, he is definitely a Chad.

CONGRATS on your first "dry" wedding. must've been hard and as you pointed out, although one glass wouldn't have harmed that much, if you knew it was gonna only lead down to more, better to have not drunk at all!
ReplyDeleteinteresting that you had quite a few negative comments. surprisingly for me, i've had only one negative response early one, but the nice twist there is that in fact, that person has now just committed to joining the next PCP!
good luck with the new workouts. with your positive attitude, sure it'll be no problem. weird to think there's only 39 days left!
