[BLOG] I think I gained some back...
My ex's sister and brother-in-law from Denmark just flew in today. I actually dropped by their place to say hi and spent my entire day there. It's weird but even though I broke up with my girl we are still on friendly, speaking terms. More importantly, her family LOVES me and that includes the two people from Denmark who just got back in.
The drawback to this is what is known as the pasalubong -- which in my native tongue literally means "to meet." It is basically a custom of greeting someone you haven't seen in a while with a really festive mood -- and gifts. Well, we met them with tons of food, in other words I ate a crapload today. And I think I gained back some weight.
My belly feels a little rounder than it was yesterday. That sucks monumentally. I haven't had the courage to check the scales yet today -- not that I have the time. I pretty much just got home and I have a shift in 3 hours. And I have no time to go out and take a walk. I'll just wrap up with some Yoga, nap for an hour and go to work.
*sigh*
Well, the nice thing is that, despite having broken up with my girl last week, I guess I'm what you would call a friend with benefits -- my ex and I still did it last night and I guess there's something to be said for having had a good, long-standing relationship. And not just with her, but with her entire family, and I again have to mentally kick myself for ever giving up this girl and her warm, loving family. The entire clan has really welcomes me unconditionally and even now they still like having me around, it's enough to make a guy cry.
Times like this I wish I were more a better, more mature person. I could have kept it all but somehow I managed to compromise it. I am just happy they still accept me as I am today.
Having things like this to be thankful for always helps. I hope to lose those pounds I just gained back next week. It's a good time I guess; Holy Week is normally vacation time here but since I work for an American client I am working straight this week until next Saturday with no breaks or weekends; tough luck actually. But it's a chance to throw myself back into my work, that's part of how I lost weight in the first place.
Here's to shedding off those pounds again...
