I stayed in tonight (and I say that like I actually have a life where I'd actually have somewhere to go...) and paid bills. And then I figured out my taxes. I can say the one positive thing about working at a CPA firm is that at least my taxes get done for free! Small perks, right?

And now I'm drinking a glass of wine. My second, actually. I'm not really a wine drinker. Actually, I don't know that I actually like the taste of alcohol. I just like how it can make me forget for a while. (Don't worry...me having a drink at all is unusual.) Anyway, while I was vacationing in North Carolina this fall, I went to this wine tasting. I was really quite nice. It was just me and my family, so it was very casual. And the person leading it was great and really worked with us. The very last bottle of wine we tried I fell in love with. They only had two bottles left in the store - I took one, much to the chagrin of my dad, and my aunt took the other.

I liked this wine so much that I vowed I wouldn't pop the cork on my bottle until I had its replacement. And I looked - and came up with nothing. Of course, what connections do I have with wine - I never drink the stuff! But one of the guys at work has MAJOR wine connections. I asked him if he could help me find a few bottles. He said he would, but when I explained that it was the last bottle we tried at the tasting, he suggested I try it again - a little more, um, sober this time.

And I still love it! =)

Apparently it's effected me as I'm rambling endlessly.

It is causing a quandary though. I'm already over for my calories today. Not by much, but enough. The problem? I want another glass of this stuff.

I've hit the 10 pound mark. It doesn't feel real yet because I haven't seen a change in myself or in my clothes, but when I get on the scale, it's there. Now the conversation I have when I want something that perhaps I shouldn't have, is, "Do you want to ruin, or jeopardize, what you've gotten already?" I'm hoping that as I continue to lose the weight that the "losing" side will continue to win the battle. I'm not trying to deprive myself. I'm just trying to stick to one of my goals --> moderation. Learn the definition, and live by it.

Can I count it on tomorrow's calories if I wait 31 minutes and technically it's tomorrow? =)
