I drank one 5 ounce glass of wine tonight.  I had so many calories left for the day, and I was really full and didn’t want anything else to eat.  So I went ahead and enjoyed one (and I really stress one) glass of wine with my husband while I snuggled on the couch with my kids and watched a movie.  It was GREAT.  My husband and I were going to go outside and stack wood.  I got home a little later than normal and by the time we finished dinner it was after 6:30.  Our daughter started having a melt down and I didn’t think it would be good to push this kids tonight and make them come outside while we stacked wood.  It would have upset them and just stressed me out more.  So instead, we relaxed.  And it was wonderful.  Even better, I limited myself to one glass of wine and still am under my calories for the day.  I am a little hungry right now- I believe that is a result of drinking the wine.  My husband just had an ice cream cone.  I am using all of my will power not to get up and have one myself… as it would definitely put me over calories for the day (I am under calories, but not that far under at this point).

I am just proud of myself that I was able to enjoy one glass of wine and keep it at that.
