We look forward to our Snowmobile Weekend every year.
We try to get a few weekends of snowmobiling in each winter, but there is one weekend we really look forward to. We’ve been going up with about 6 friends for the past 6 years, and it is a blast!
It is also the one weekend a year that this healthy Momma has a few drinks.
The reason it is limited to this weekend is that I found that drinking really hurt my weight loss.
First, you have all the calories in the drink – I’ll take an ice cream sundae instead, please. Second, it almost always leads to incontrollable snacking. Third, I feel so off the next day that it can ruin a couple days in a row with my eating.
I pretty quickly decided that it wasn’t worth it. Also, I have no idea how those with kids even enjoy a drink or two! All I keep thinking about is how little sleep I get anyway and how the kids don’t stop just because Mom has a headache.
I’m interested to see how this trip goes. I’m hoping to keep my goals in kind,but not stress myself out over the fact that I will very likely have to deviate from my plan. I’m going to enjoy myself, try to keep myself in check, and take care of the damage when we return. I am not going to beat myself up about it.
What are your plans for the weekend?
How do you feel about alcohol? Do you love your cocktail, or would you rather have a piece of chocolate like me?
