4th of July - holiday bust

Yesterday started out strong and then resulted in a bust of a day.
I was keeping track of my calories and even after my 8 mile bike ride to a picnic I was only around 900-100 intake so far for the day and feeling good.

But then I let myself have a drink.
I looked it up to make sure alcohol wouldn't make antibiotics stop working and it doesn't-- alcohol can just cause serious reactions (like sickness and fatigue) when you're on antibiotics. So I had 2 glasses of wine... and then I was around snack foods. My bane. Chips and guacamole. I destroyed that stuff. Burgers without buns, I had 2... yogurt pretzels, potato chips... I didn't seriously binge as there were always people around, but I easily had 3000 calories yesterday.

Busy Friday ahead of me, but gotta get back on track and work my butt off this weekend.

BIG GOALS THIS MONTH and I'm not going to let my poor decisions on the holiday take away from my success!
