Tonight Hubby and I went to a Japanese restaurant; kind of upscale. There was a two for one on ice cold draft beer advertised. I was tempted for a brief moment. It was like looking at porn gazing at that photo of the bulbous, frosty glass filled to the brim with golden, glistening poison with a frothy white head of bubbly suds.
I ordered a club soda with lime and to tell you the truth, it was quite nice and refreshing. I knew I would be tested because I am on my period (I know, at 57 that crap should be done) and feeling grumpy and needy. What saved me, I think was getting in the shower a few minutes before we left and purdying myself up a bit. It just gave me the extra self-confidence I needed to be strong in the face of danger.
Hubby had a draft Sapporo beer and enjoyed it. The food really satisfied my need for comfort. We had dragon rolls, hot and sour soup, seaweed salad, gyozo dumplings and a few other delectable tidbits.
So another notch on my belt. I am losing a bit of weight and that'll really show when this period is finally done. My belly will go in and I'll feel great.
Tonight we stopped at Costco on the way home and picked up some hard parmesan cheese (not grated), some sirrachia hot chili sauce, hemp hearts for my blood pressure and Hubby stopped to taste the Apple Cider which has 7% alcohol. He bought a bottle. I love that stuff. Oh well, I might as well get used to it. It's my problem, not his.
I am just meandering here, no real point to this post except, I had cravings for the first time since I quit.
I do not drink.
