Saturday Confession

Friday is my stress release valve. I let it all hang out on Friday evenings and last night, while not exactly typical certainly wasn't that far off. Before stepping into the confessional booth, I did manage to walk for almost an hour from my house down the to college and back. It was a great spring evening and I didn't want to waste it.

From there, it went down hill as far as watching what I eat goes. I had quite a number of Rum & Diet Pepsi's and eventually some SmartFood popcorn, Lays Potato Chips and about 2/3rds of a bag of Cool Ranch Doritos. From a perspective standpoint, there have been worse Friday night binges on the drink and food front, but given that I'm trying to watch what I eat I felt like a failure this AM.

But it's not failure, it's learning. Learning about what leads to bad choices. Certainly the early evenings alcohol consumption led to the late night food consumption. Being up at 2 AM didn't help matters either - heck, at 2 AM I'm usually asleep and not thinking about food or drink.

So today I'll get back on the horse again and continue the journey. BTW, what is it about eating crunchy food that's so appealing?
