Weekly WI: Back Up The Hill

I had several social engagements between Thursday and Saturday which contributed to my 1.2 pound gain this week.  I also weighed in early in anticipation of a social engagement on Monday. 

 

This week my focus is my word of the year: Consistency.

 

I will focus on consistent tracking, activity, and sleep.  These are three areas that need my attention and doing so will help me see the results I crave by the end of the month.  I have one more weigh-in to try and meet my goal of losing 2 pounds a month.

 

On Thursday, I met Kelsey and Kevin for The Office trivia at The Warehouse.  While I’ve never watched a single episode of The Office, I enjoy social settings and wanted to participate.  It was a backed out at The Warehouse in Boise and we had a lot of fun, even if our team didn’t win.

 

On Friday, we enjoyed a delicious pulled pork dinner at the Nampa Elks Lodge Elk of the Year Pork Feed.  Oh man it was yummy and included beer!  The entertainer, a local singer named Sam Henry also made the night extra enjoyable.

 

On Saturday, I started my morning with the Elks Regional Hoop Shoot as a score keeper.  It was a fierce competition and those little ones that didn’t make it to the next round shed some tears.  It is so heartbreaking.

 

By afternoon, I met my family for a bite to eat at Cooks Two Hole Bar in Melba.  My niece Hailey and her boyfriend wanted to get the family together and we rallied.  We were only missing my sister Jenny, and her husband Will.

 

By evening, we met up with Phoenix and Stacey for some St. Patrick’s Day fun in Ontario.  We started at Mackey’s Public House for a BIG Irish Death beer and split a shepherd’s pie.  OMG the pie was good.

 

From there we visited the Ontario Elks Lodge and the Weiser Elks Lodge.  Wow!  What hospitality.  We had so much fun…and drank a lot!  If I lived closer to the Weiser lodge I’d party with them more often.

 

As you can see…a busy and festive weekend with lots of indulges.  This is why I need to renew my focus on my word of the year and hunker down for a bit.  My social drinking as increased since my parents joined the Elks lodge last month.
