yup. The time has come. Break out the team-themed streamers, hook up all the TVs, buy the ice: it's a good old American football party! And what would a party be without all the party foods? we've got wings and pizza, liters and liters of soda, bowls of m&m's, baskets of chips and fries, coolers full of beer, all on themed plates and napkins and plastic cups. shoot me.
I went running this morning in preparation for the onslaught of high fat-content foods this evening. I had a clem after (yay for SGD!). I have a plan for this evening though. I'm going last minute shopping with my dad, so I'll pick up some low fat ranch dressing and make a nice veggie platter. Then I'll make a salad for myself and eat that while everyone else is gorging on wings. "you gain the strength of the temptation you resist" I can do this. I can do this. I can do this.
this part is just for my mental organization:
-vaccuum house for party
-go shopping
-help with food prep
-eat some carrots (4 pm)
-work on homework
-self magazine workout
-guests arrive (6 pm)
-eat salad (7:30 pm)
-allowed to have: jell-o, veggies, small amount of crackers w/ cheese
-help clean up
-go to bed early (10 pm)
okay. so I have my game plan (haha... I'm so clever...). Just to prove to myself that I can do this I'm going to be under on calories today. go team me!
good luck with the party! im opting out this year, its easier.

Good luck, I'm lucky, my fam is going to a cousins party & it's well known that I don't care for family events
ReplyDeleteuggghhhh parties. One of the frats here is delivering wings anywhere people want them so anywhere I'll go they'll be there :( I should just stay home.
