This weekend was my brother’s birthday, cousin’s wedding, and my sister’s
baby shower (#4). I had to get dressed and show up to all events with family
and friends. I thought it would be boring and that I would feel self-conscious
about how I looked in my skirt and dress. I actually had a good time at all
events after getting over the initial anxiety of being around a lot of people.
Just so you all know, I am like 87 % an introvert. I got a few compliments on how nice I looked,
especially from the family members that haven’t seen me since my own wedding in
November. I danced to The Beatles with My Love and had a few drinks at the
wedding ;).
I ate as healthy as I could at all events. I did eat a slice of
cake at each event, but only because it was made by the best, My Dad. Did I
mention he is a pastry chef? Yes sir, he is at Whole Food currently, but he has
worked for La Madeleine, Central Market and at then Dallas Whole Foods
Warehouse before it closed down. I had a little more carbs at the wedding
because the main dish was not vegetarian. But I had mostly fruits and veggies
at the other parties. Overall I would say this busy weekend was a win, compared to how much
I failed the previous holiday celebrations.
