Beware the Bachelor's Weekend

Watch out for big changes in your routine.  This weekend my son was away on an overnight field trip to California for Oceanography club.  My wife was off to North Carolina spending some time with her sisters to celebrate her 40th birthday and it was just me with the two dogs at home.

I was supposed to go to a party on Saturday, made my party food for the pot luck, headed out the door and realized that my GPS could not navigate me to the address.  (Toyota want $300 for the new DVD!)  Anyway I called over to the house but no answer so I ended up returning home and eating way too much of that Taco Dip and chips than I should have.  Then on Sunday I went out to eat with my buddy Rick and his family.  Tried Dave's Famous BBQ for the first time.  REALLY good ribs, I should have ordered the 1/2 rack but of course I went for the full rack and ate it all.  I was stuffed, thank goodness I didn't go for any desert, that would have been truly disastrous.

Considering the fact that I did not eat anywhere near what I should have for two meals over the weekend I suppose I should be grateful that I only weighed in at 196.4 lbs today.  That is a 1.4 lb gain for the weekend.

Let me tell you that I am paying the price though.  I feel awful.  The food, however delicious is not sitting well in my stomach.  I am actually relieved about that.  If the really bad for me stuff doesn't sit well anymore then I feel like my body is telling me it did not get what it needs and hopefully this will act as a reminder to me in the future to be more careful about what I decide to put in my mouth.
