Since I had plans to go out last night in Ybor City with my female friends, I knew that I had to watch what I ate early in the day and get my exercise in too. I played it safe with a bowl of cereal and some fruit, had chips and salsa for lunch with 1.5 margarita's and then came home to the Wii for 30 min.
On the Wii machine I start with boxing, followed by the best of three tennis match, and then two games of bowling. If I'm feeling really energized I'll tackle the fit test. The golf is really for cooling down and the baseball frustrates me, I can't hit the ball. I think I can't see it coming across the plate, it's not 3D enough for me. It was so hot and humid that I had a nice sweaty work out and felt amazing.
With the ladies all buzzing about where to eat, we settled on the Blue Dog Bistro, by then Justin had joined us and John was soon to arrive. Blue Dog is a cool Cajun/American place and the menu offers great selections to chose from. I ordered the ribs and wings. I enjoyed the meal and only had three french fries off my plate (I was proud of myself for not even wanting them) and two shock top beers. My total points: 16. That means for my whole day I used up ten extra weekly points. Not too bad!
After dinner I stopped by a house party and danced up a sweat for an hour. Then I hustled over to Green Iguana for another hour of dancing. I knew that if I kept moving it would all count as exercise and that's added points (plus those chicken wings had to be danced off my hips).
I'm enjoying my ability to mix my new healthy lifestyle with having a normal style life. If I want to eat something I just monitor my point situation, log it all down, and then enjoy myself. It's so easy, where was this 15 years ago?
I'm appreciating the path that I've chosen for my self. It's not going to be easy, but right now it's not that bad.
