Alcohol and Weight Gain
I weigh six pounds more than I weighed on 10/5. That's a three pounds a month gain.

I biked to the bank and took recycling on my bike today. I made just enough Lenten sugar-free pancakes for hubby (AMSCIPIO 257cal), but had 1c. cream of wheat with 2T raisins for breakfast. I'm wolfing down maté since it's too cold to drink water. We walked to the library, and we'll go for 'a walk' later. Probably a 2.5mi circuit we've developed downtown.

The Art Walk is tonight. I have 'a complimentary drink' waiting on my at my boss's house, oodles of appetizers at downtown businesses-- and I used to do a lot of window shopping until I got married. He's a fan of sitting down in a bar. We also have a late-night birthday party for a middle-aged bachelor.

Here's my plan: Don't take the complimentary drink. Walk through the sculpture park with hubby, drop him off at the bar, walk home. Have a sensible dinner. Bike or walk to the party. Say hello, decline drinks. Leave hubby there for the rest of the party.

But, this seems like a lot of separation of me and hubby. He went to a dinner party all by himself last night. I don't want to waste a night! Not that it would be any fun if I did or did not drink, but alcohol is at least a diversion. Overall, hubby is being more healthy; he's lost weight. I, however, am not fairing as well. I feel like nothing more than a resolveless BLOB.

Check in tomorrow to see where I end up.
