Day 7- Confessional

Okay- I admit it.  I fell off the wagon last night.  I did eat the other veggies that I mentioned previously.  Green beans and brussel sprouts were quite thrilling additions and added nice variety to my seven foods.  Never would have seen myself writing the previous sentence before this week!  We did have chicken for dinner...again.

And here it comes...I had wine last night.  Yes this is a confessional post.  We were sitting outside enjoying the fabulous weather and grilling our chicken and then it happened.  Joey poured himself a drink and grabbed a cigar.  I was holding strong- I had my ice water and peppers with yogurt for dip.  All was going well- the kids were watching a movie before bed, the sun was setting, and my resistance failed!!  And not only did I have wine- I had 3 glasses and I enjoyed each and every sip!  I didn't actually finish the last glass but I intended to when I poured it.

There I said it- I blew it last night!  And not only did I blow it- I was happy I did.  And guess what else...I woke up this morning and drank ice water again and had another omelet with peppers and chicken and the experiment goes on just as if nothing changed.  I think that has to count for something.  I had an urge to just say once I had the wine last night, what is a little coffee this morning.  But no, I didn't do that.  I pulled up my big girl pants and admitted my failure publicly and now I am back on with my 7.

In my 7 journey, week one is wrapping up and I feel like I am right where I am supposed to be.
