Day THIRTY
Ya’ll!!!! So what is the big deal about 30 anyway Re?
Let me just tell you!!! Because I am friggin excited.
Side Note: I say Ya’ll, Well, and So a lot! Weird
I have not had one sip of alcohol. I have not smoked one cigarette. I have not attempted and or contemplated murdering anyone (specifically myself) in a MONTH! Which sounds amazing right? But get this.... I just spent 3 days at home in my favorite place with my favorite peoples and my favorite eateries and I DID NOT CHEAT ON MYSELF!!!!
I know you may be thinking “But Re? Did you REALLY put yourself out there?” Yes, Yes I did.
First off if you know me and Drake, you know we don’t skimp on our alcohol and have a kick ass bar if you combine our stock. So there was no lack of booze around.
Second I went to both of my favorite coffee spots, multiple times and never ordered anything other than Med Dark Black. No matter the fact that I was staring a West 3rd or a Sandspur face to face. I honestly didn’t have a desire to order it.
Kathy George Lassiter
even came over for coffee one morning and when she asked me what I would like - it was easy peasy Med Dark Black
Third I went to the most wonderful restaurant on the beach, The Saltbox Cafe, not once, not twice, but THREE TIMES. Each time my best friend
Amanda
and Randolph stepped up to the plate and knocked the friggin ball right out of the park with the absolutely most amazing Keto Friendly meals. Neither time was a drawn to ask for a draft, water and coffee it was with just a touch of cream in that first cup. I love you guys so much!!!
Fourth I did “Ladies who Lunch” TWICE Friday I hung out with my knitting friends for a few hours.
Phyllis
had made the most AMAZING smelling chicken soup, I thought for sure I would cave .. (was that my recipe because man it looked great) but nope she had options for me to make my own salad with some chicken salad it was perfect! Saturday I went to Bernie’s and passing up the draft, the vodka soda and the Bloody Mary was not anywhere near as hard as I thought it would be.
Margaret
and I both ordered salads and I ensured mine was Keto friendly and our waitress was so sweet about it, even if I was embarrassed and slightly ashamed of asking for modifications. As a server myself it hurts my heart to modify because I know it is a pain. I am sorry sweet server.
So you see I was alllllll out there! Want to know what I did to help myself while I was gone and how I did the things I needed to do for me?
First I had a loose workout plan before I ever left home and I actually stuck to it. Thursday it was so beautiful
Edward Wesley
and I took the pups on a long walk. Friday and Saturday I did Zumba with both Renee and
April Dinkle
! I always forget how much fun dancing it out with your friends can be, I can look ridiculous and not one single person cares we are all out there just hip shaking and not having a care in the world. It’s wonderful.
Second I had plans with friends, but even when those plans shifted and changed through the weekend it wasn’t a stressful situation. We just rolled with it and it was ALLLL ok!
Margaret Brushwood
even cancelled her flight to Ocracoke for brunch so she could do my hairs.
Third I didn’t work every single down second I had down time. Ed and I spent time together just being. We didn’t have to be doing every single second. It was just relaxing! We didn’t stay up outrageously late and other than us both having crazy dreams all weekend we got good sleeps.
Fourth I had time to do things with and for
Drake
. That always makes my heart so happy. When I can do things for him because I want to!
The fifth and final thing I did for me. I did not set foot in Bad Bean. I am going home with 2 pints of salsa that Ed went to get for me. 30 days is absolutely not long enough to get through that trigger. Between the chips and the Bloody Mary they have I would be a goner! I have decided that I will go to Bad Bean for my birthday... in July! Side Note: Ed brought the chips home!!! I did not eat and or even sniff one of them... that was a big win! I also didn’t nibble his wonderful smelling blueberry pancakes this morning! I also forced myself not to look at his plate after glancing that first time
All in all this is as the perfect weekend to celebrate 30 days of not actively dying if you ask me.
I love you all my dear friends!
And hey you, my perfect mate, my chariot driver, my handsome man, I love you too, thank you for this weekend and not getting mad when I am a hangry bitch
