Day 39 - steady as she goes

My co-worker is leaving our store and to celebrate the next phase of her working life, we all got together at the local pub for some good times. It really was a good time! But, man, the insistence of everyone that I drink was pretty strong! I know they are trying to encourage fun and be kind in the attention, but it did take a bit of stubbornness on my side to work through it. (great, now I'm a boring prude) it was my first outing with my co-workers (amazing, since I've worked there a year) and I had a lot of fun! Being sober! We objectified men, talked a little work gossip -mainly, why everyone is jumping ship, shared some good stories of past loves, and other forms of camaraderie that recommends one another.
I had lots of fun!

And yes, this franks hot sauce craze is still in gear. Mmm so delicious! Is there something in the sauce that I am craving? Could it -gasp- contain sugar? I hope not! I had wings again last night... I keep thinking this is bad because they are deep fried, not that I overly care for deep fried anything, it's just...hot sauce.
But this appreciation for wings does not seem to be affecting my diet. You'll remember my Boston pizza wing excursion of last week. I noticed no detrimental weigh gain after eating them. And today I stepped on the scale, it reads: 138.2
That's only .2 up from yesterday.

I drank lots of water yesterday while at the pub. So, it could even be water retention.
And someone at work (finally!!) noticed that I have lost weight. I had wondered how I could go away for a month, come back lighter, and continue to lose with no one the wiser. I would have thought that reclaiming my face definition from the pudge would have done it...

Oh well. 19 more pounds to go. (6 weeks left, is that enough time? I'm roughly halfway, maybe it will be. Or, maybe my transgressions have set me back another week.
