bbq blues

Today was a hard day, my legs and butt are KILLING me from yesterday's workout. Having beach volleyball playoffs later that day didn't help, although I slept like a rock! Stupid DOMS has set in and I feel like the tin man. Its kind of funny though, because the pain serves to remind me what I need to do to stay on track.

I arrived at my buddies' bbq tonight, to a spread of chips, snacks, booze, and salads. There was no avoiding consumption of some of these items so my plan was moderation. I avoided the chips and dips completely, but accepted the cheeseburger and loaded up with lettuce and a spoon of potato salad. To avoid the alcohol I kept my glass of water full and cold.

This was no easy task, and I'm worried about the upcoming weekend. I'm heading up to a campground for an escape and a party. I hope the weather holds up so I can relax and read, and I can figure out how I can stick with The Plan.

**Book of choice for the pool this weekend: The China Study, T. Colin Campbell PhD
