Oops...I did it again...A beer fell into mouth 'by accident'. J/k! ;-) Soon after volleyball, our after game ritual is to have a few pitchers of beer (especially when we win- like today). I did at 1st say no (while going for a next gulp of water) , but was ridiculed by my team of being a 'wuss' and to stop dieting.

As you can see, I'm a sucker for peer pressure when it involves beer(seriously - put me in an interrogation room with a 6 pack of any Canadian beer and I'll be singing like a bird!), but at the same token, I didn't want to be that team mate that bales out after the game and not participate in a "team drink" .

So I sipped a 1/2 beer while others went for a 2nd and 3rd cup. They also indulged themselves with hot dogs and hamburgers, and that is when I definitely had to back away. I wasn't hungry anyways and by looking at the time it was 10:30pm, so it was quite easy for me to decline. Plus, I just spent an hour in the gym and also didn't want to ruin my hard earned eating plan for the day. In perspective, I don't think the 1/2 beer was too bad(yes I am trying to rationalize it - ;-) ), but I just have to ensure that if we have drinks after the game again(which we will) I keep with the same rule - 1/2 beer or none.
