Well day 6 and 7 for the weekend were definitely a challenge, being around people over indulging in intoxication while maintaining full sobriety was very interesting.
Typically a Sunday would be no issue, my Sundays are usually filled with catching up on work that needs done, visiting my mom, or going outside and doing something anyway. Sunday's other than the occasional Sunday funday are typically my healthy day of the week.
But then there is super bowl sunday. The day people dedicate to some football game most dont care about, but that gives them an excuse to join the rest of the country in drinking and eating junk food on a sunday.
I love me some tailgate food mind you, all the flavors, all the fried deliciousness, the dips, the grease, my mouth is watering as i type it.
I decided that as I started the official protien detox the next day, I would let myself splurge on food and just avoid the alcohol. After spending my day getting a few things done at the house and resting up a bit from the weekend, i went to the gym for an hour, and then came home showered cooked up some treats, and headed to a superbowl party.
The junk food was out, pizza rolls, taquitos, chicken tenders, chips, salsa, guacamole, buffalo chicken dip, and a little veggie tray looking lonely in the corner. I tasted a little of each, but avoided drinking. Beer pong was being played in the basement, and most people wernt watching the game. The music was a little stagnant focusing on all old school rap / hip hop, so I took over the DJ seat for a bit with some variety, and everyone seemed to like it and loosen up. I stayed for the extent of the game, not drinking. Talked to a few people, interacted pretty much the same as everyone else. No one was obliviously drunk but most were buzzed. I left a little earlier than everyone else after knowing that I wanted to get up early to try and make the gym in the morning. OVerall this day wasnt as bad of a challenge as I expected, despite the fact that I did let myself cheat with the food a bit.
