Didn't FULLY go-off track, only a little

...but did NOT buy the coconut cake i SO wanted to buy yesterday. :o/

I was actually driving in that direction when i decided to be good to myself and NOT do what my old-patterns would have me do. Instead; i went to HEB and bought some food for the next 5-6 days that are Food Lover's Friendly, rented a couple of movies, and enjoyed an evening on the sofa...

My house is super-clean, the pool is sparkling, and i'm enjoying this time alone. I figured out a way to wedge something under the bedroom door, too -- so i'm not constantly awakened by strange house-sounds and freaked out. This way; nobody can get in. Not without making a lot of noise; and if that happens...Mr. 38 Special will be ready & waiting. :o)

I DID indulge a little bit, tho -- i bought a cheese log and had about 1/2 of it on whole grain crackers. I'm only supposed to have about 4-5 crackers, and i had easily double that-- and more cheese than i needed. And a little later, i had 2 of the Organic toaster-pastries we're allowed (they're actually ON the approved-snack-list), with a little butter on them. It was all yummy, but i was uncomfortably full and looked forward to getting back on track today.

I DID weigh myself just to see if i caused much damage and was up less than a lb, but still up. I think if i do well today, and exercise, i'll be fine. A girlfriend invited me out for drinks/dinner tonight tho -- so i'm not sure how to handle that.

I would LIKE to have a drink, but dunno if it'd be worth it. Two nights off the wagon may be too much; especially if this 'night out' isn't worth it on the fun-o-meter. Meaning; if it were to lead to a fun night of singing/dancing, etc -- it'd be totally worth it! But if it's just food and drinks...nah. Not so much. Know what i mean?

Anyway ~ i'm gonna walk the dogs now, then come home and shower, see a movie, do a little shopping, then come home and float in the pool for a bit before getting my toes done. Then i'm off to meet my girlfriend for drinks/dinner. I LOVE Sat's like this...and as much as i enjoy Tom's company; i'm loving having this time to do as i please...with no one to consider by myself...

Does that make me selfish??
