Peer Pressure

I try my best to fuel my body with good things. I am not perfect. I eat a handful of junk here and there and have a few too many cocktails on an occasion. But I try. And when I try to make good choices, don't try to pressure me into joining you for margaritas and tacos on a wednesday night ... especially when I know I haven't made the best choices this week thus far, and will be enjoying pizza with my team members tomorrow for lunch, treats with the kids on the last day of school, out for lunch with the staff on friday, a going away party friday night with grilled foods, potato chips, and the possibility of endulging in one too many "strip-and-go-nakeds" ...

Some people just don't get it... some people will never get it. No matter what I say or how I try to explain it....

Instead, I will stay home tonight. Unfortunately, the combination of my run yesterday and softball last night have left my quads a bit sore today.... So I am going to take advantage of the evening at home, in front of the tv watching the Celtics. Some may say I am a band-wagon fan ... but I don't care. I heart KG and Pierce...

Good job on saying no...I wish I could just be better in general...too much snacking tonight. I should've gotten the bike out, but I seem incapable of doing that if I don't have errands to run and/or a place I'm going...instead I made biscotti...and snacked on it (had to try it, never made it before).

well, at least you have blog land to support the decisions that you make!

I can relate to the cocktail/beer thing. But tacos and margs, I give you props for saying no, you are stronger then I.

What exactly is a "strip-and-go-naked?

Sherry said...

Totally feel ya! I'm always the one still drinking H2O when everyone else is downing their umpteenth beer.

Scott & I choose not to go out a lot. We just don't really "do" the whole drinking & bar snacks thing anymore... and actually, we never really did. I would much rather save my special calories for the pizza that my body "needs" each week. :o)

Good game last night. I don't even really like basketball or the Celtics but since I named my Garmin KG (why I have NO idea), I figured I might as well watch some it it LMAO!

YEs, what is a "strip and go naked?" Inquiring minds need to know!

J~Mom said...

Oohh I just saw your follow up comment. Got it.

Well good choices!!

Mendy said...

Yeah, agree with Irongambit. We totally get what you are saying. Stick to your guns. I know it's easier said than done, but you gotta make choices for you. It's hard for me too, but we don't go out like that that much.

Your half pictures were AWESOME!
