Two words can combine to make one word that strikes fear
into the heart of every beer loving person on a diet…Beer…Fest. Yes, Beerfest.
Every year since 2006, I have been accompanying my awesome
husband and some of our friends to the Greater Gator Beerfest down in
Gainesville Florida. My hubs and his
friend Damo used to go while they were in college, so this became our new
tradition. We would get into town on
Friday and have a fancy steak dinner at a nice restaurant, go out in
Gainesville for some drinks, and the Saturday we would get up and go to the
Beerfest. Sunday we would go to a
fantastic breakfast place called Ivey’s [seriously the best cheese grits
ever!].

This year the event was scheduled on Easter weekend. Not cool.
We decided to change our plans and go to the Suwanee Beerfest this
year. It was this Saturday, and we had a
great time! Needless to say, I did not
even log into MFP [www.myfitnesspal.com].
I was giving myself a day off…that actually turned into two days
off. Friday I was pretty good since I
was lucky enough to catch a spin class that morning. Then it went downhill.
Beerfest was awesome, and I ate a lot more calories than
what I was used to. I paid for it on
Sunday! I felt tired and bloated all day
because I pumped myself with such bad, sodium laced stuff. I’m slowly but surely working my way out of
it.
I’m scared of the scale on Friday! I stepped on it today, and it had gone back
up a pound! I’m REALLY hoping it’s water
weight so I get just get rid of it.
Therefore, I am just going to have to work my but off this week to get
the scale back down and a little more.
So far I have upped my cardio by attending a couple of Spin
classes at the gym. Those were
awesome! Then I got to work out with my
friend Kathryn [who kicked my butt!!]
This week I was able to get onto another Spin class on Monday. Then Monday night happened. I don’t know if it’s allergies or a stupid
cold, but I could not make it yesterday morning to the gym. Yuck!
I hate it when I don’t feel well enough for the gym. It makes it that much harder to only eat 1200
calories.
This morning I was good enough for some elliptical at the
gym. I am feeling ok, so that means tomorrow Kathryn will hopefully
kick my butt some more! That will bring
me to Friday. I will see the repercussions
of my Beerfest actions on Friday morning around 5:45 am…
Wish me luck this week!
