Thanks trees. I'm now up bright and early and about ready to leave for a jog, though I've been working out so much lately and I walked at least 5 miles yesterday exploring this city and just going from event to event that I'm pretty darn sore already. Also, it's hotter than he!! where I am, at least compared to what I'm used to, even early in the morning. So my jog today might be very slow and chopped off, but much rather it be cuz I've been overdoing jogs recently rather than because I have a crippling hangover.
I need to keep in mind all day how I'm feeling right now. Absolutely zero embarrassment over what I did last night, even after saying something to the groom that I shouldn't have. He's clearly nervous about everything going right today, and I said something dumb about how something went very wrong at the wedding I was at last weekend where a bridesmaid stole the show during the ceremony and sort of put a blemish on an otherwise beautiful ceremony. I meant it to be like "nothing as bad as what I saw happen last week will go wrong for you," but I think it just came across as suggesting that something easily could go wrong today. Anyway, it's a lot easier to move on from that knowing I was sober when I said it.
I have sober plans all day leading up to the wedding and then some people already know I'm trying to lose weight and am avoiding liquid calories. I'd imagine there will be some peer pressure, but I know I can be strong and just decline the drinks. And if things start feeling bad, I know I can come back to my room and sleep or just go back to the casino, maybe even by myself, and get through the night alcohol free.
