You are too sweet Rooney! I was thinking the same thing though. Amazing how much your life can change in an instant. Your comment just made my amazing day even better...

Dance class huh? Sounds like a blast, I am jealous!!

Are you staying warm? Have you made those snow angels for me yet?

 

[scorpiogirl]

I took Jazz when I was in my early teens. I'd LOVE to learn ballroom! Sounds like sooo much fun!

 

[Roonytunes]

We had a warm front this week, IP, and there is near to no snow left. I’m a warm weather girl, so I can’t say I’m too upset about it. And even if there were snow, I wouldn’t be your best candidate to solicit for snow angels. I’d be bundled up inside with the heat turned up high.

I did enjoy the dance class yesterday evening. We will be learning different steps every week. Next week is Cha Cha…What I could not get over is some guys complaining their shoulders hurt because they had their hands up to hold their partner through an entire waltz. Weaklings!!

It will be a challenge, but I have assigned a reliable friend to be my booze accountant tonight. I DON’T want to spend the rest of this long weekend tired, weak and feeling like my head is going to explode.

Have a great Saturday night, everyone!

 

[iceprincess]

Best of luck tonight!! Be strong

Tell those guys, in your dance class, who are complaining, that they need to get there butt's in the GYM!

Best of luck tonight!! Be strong

I am proud to say that I did have control around the open bar last night. I only had 3 very weak cherry vodka and club soda cocktails if that.

For dinner, I tried to keep the portions small. I had a bite of bruschetta, a handful of banana chips, some brie cheese, 1 scoop each of grilled barbecue chicken and beef and mashed sweet potatoes. Unfortunately, dessert was this bite sized tray of goodies and this is probably where I could have been stronger....I had a large handful of choc chip cookies (yum!), 2 heavenly chocolate truffles, a cheesecake bite, 3 nut bars/baklavas, croissant-ish pastry - granted these were all bite sized, but it was easier to lose track. Oh well, one battle at a time for now....

I am realizing my biggest downfall is with my cheat meal. I have the eating clean/working out portion down during to a tee the regular week, but it's a challenge to limit my social activities to one cheat meal per weekend and not getting out of control with that. I guess, self-awareness is the first step to recovery

I can honestly say I'm now holding fat in my lower abdominal area. You have seen my stomach before cutting, after cutting, after building and now, I will get some pics up post bulk. I have this little pooch now. Sure M24K can attest it's 'not that bad' (I her ) but until I limit my cheat meals & start cutting (I have been trying to keep my meals & Portions under control the last month before even attempting this), I think that area, which use to be the 1st to go for me, will now be the last to go for me.

I know these social activities are very important to you, but I just wanted to share my thoughts on the matter.

I want nothing more for you to get past this little bump, but I keep coming back to the cheat meals being the culprit. Have you ever considered cutting them out completely to see if that will impact your results? You will never know if you don't at least try it.

You will be able to add them back in SLOWLY once you get your body to where you want it to be.
