Gidday all happy friday
Well, after 50 days without a drink, the wheels sorta came off last night. After avoiding the booze at about 6 client events, seven Friday and Saturday nights, and every other random time I'd have likely had a drink, i finally succumbed to it last night. And it was pretty good.. I think 3 beers, 2 1/2 glasses of white and a couple of ports (i must have been drunk!) over a lovely french meal in Happy Valley (Saint Germain, used to be The Stable, recommend) with a couple of colleagues. Luckily for me Patrick had just told us to indulge at some stage this week.. unfortunately, it slightly unhinged me and I mentally checked out of PCP last night as well. Today is the first day I have not thought about the program much at all, the first day when my focus was not on trying to find the time to eat the 6 meals, I wasn't feeling as alert, and there was no way I was getting up at 530 to do the work this morning, and at 11pm I ain't doing it tonight either. So I guess this is my first proper slipup.. I am confident it will be my only one. Tomorrow is a new day, and I'm pumped to get back into it, so bring it on!
Just get right back on the program. Call it your mid term indulgence and keep plugging away. If you stress over it, it will get you. Just dont make a habit of it. You will be amazed how quickly you can slide down that slippery slope.....
ReplyDeleteOne day off ain't bad. Plus even though its good to be conscious of the program, I think the ultimate goal is to get thru a day, PCP style & not think about it too much - that way your lifestyle has truly changed. I don't think its a bad thing you didn't
ReplyDeletefocus on the 6 meals etc…
I like the bring it on at the end. Sounds like an enjoyed indulgence.
