Getting OLD and HATING it…
Okay. So…I am REALLY OCD-ing this week about my age…
I just feel old…And I dont like it…
I think its some of this extra poundage I re-gained…For I did NOT feel this way over the summer…So I HOPE it goes away as the pounds fall again…
But man…
I went out Friday with my friend…He and I split a few pitchers of cheap beer…That was my first mistake of many that night (Some I have to keep to myself…Shhhhhhh)…
I have to confess…
I can NOT tolerate mass quantities of alcohol like I used too…
My body takes sooooo long to recover these days…It took me ALL day Saturday to recover…And I hated it…
So just like WW, I am going to quit drinking like that for a while…It just doesnt feel good anymore…One, because I dont really like cheap beer. Would rather drink GOOD beer, slowly…Second, it is no longer worth the caloric intake to feel a bit goofy for a few hours, and three, I just dont need to waste a whole day of my life recovering…
Other then that, things are going well…
From reading your blogs, it would see a lot of us still struggle on the weekends.
I do great with my eating all things considered AND my exercising, but I am still having trouble journaling on the weekends. I do great Monday through Friday…But for some reason, I skip Saturday and Sunday…
So I am working on that…
Thats my next mini goal…To get through TWO FULL weeks of journaling AND being 100% on plan…
I know if I can make it through two weeks, I can make it through.
I do feel great though, otherwise…My groove is coming back and it will be all down hill from here…WOO HOO!!!
I am sure you are right….gaining back some weight can really mess with you. I felt my depression coming back full force. I knew it was time to get back to it and now I am feeling better. I am sure that when you start losing again, you will change your thoughts about feeling old. You are only 35!
Good luck to you with your goals. I know that you can and will reach them Dawnie!
I just said the same thing in my blog…the drinking has to go.
I too have discovered hangovers in my 30’s…I never used to feel like death the next day either.
I prefer to look at it as maturing…not aging.
Working in a bar makes it really easy to have a drink too often, and you are right, the calories just aren’t worth it.
I suppose now isn’t the best time to tell you that we carry 75 of those micro-brews you love so much.
I agree with you and the other 2. Once you start to feel better the age won’t feel like so much. It’s so corny, but it really is about how we feel inside. And, yep, with the booze, I find it really helpful to the weight loss to keep it minimum. Only thing now is that I’m a light weight b/c of it…
I don’t drink so I can’t comment on the drinking but I am over 40 and sometimes the best person to listen to is your own body…maybe it is trying to tell us something. Just a thought.

I know being oveweight made me feel old, so I can relate! But hey, girl, I just turned 49 on Saturday, you are NOT old! I can’t drink at all, but I do know it piles on the weight job on deciding to stop!
Soundslike things are going great for you.Keep up the good work.
Hiya Baby! Sounds like all of us got the same holiday memo from the fat fairy…..eat and eat some more…. You’ll make your 2weeks op w/food and blogging, no doubt woman!
I still reecover quickly soooo im not gonna try that goal :p But I too feel old these days….man when did that happen!?!?
Amen sister bear! I totally get it!! LOL!! These days I can’t drink like I used to either–getting old does suck…but then again…I love the wisdom that comes with age! Glad you’re getting your groove back!! Send some groove this way! Love ya girl!
A nice glass of wine or a good microbrew is so much better than the pitchers of cheap beer! Good for you on recognizing and making the decision to stop.
Keep it up!
You can do it!! Hang in there for two weeks, focus on one day at a time and before you know it, it will be part of your rythm!!! You may be upping your years but you look darn good woman!! Enjoy!!
You can do it. We both have to do it this year!!!
