Ah, the second ‘day of the change.’ Not surprisingly, I seem to be well in keeping with my “one step forward, one step (two optional) back” MO. I managed to get through most of my day yesterday as planned. I was productive, kept my mind on what I was doing, ate sensibly, and otherwise kept to the modest plan I set out for myself when I began. Went to play cards while my laundry was in process, and then D showed up with and enormous bag of ‘grandma cookies.’

Oh, the horror.

The last time I saw a bag of ‘that which is not necessarily good for me’ of that size was when a friend in college pulled out a large freezer bag stuffed with herb. She and I got so lit that the thought of shooting off fireworks onto Beacon Street and inside the apartment seemed like a good idea. Anyway, everyone at the table ate too many (with the exception of D, of course…), and I ate too many in spite of finding nuts in them. With a sugar rush going strong and feeling a little guilty for partaking of too many sweets, after I put my laundry away I fired up Arcanum and played until 1AM. So, no gym today, late to work, and feeling a little disappointed over my sudden loss of self-control.

Ok, disappointed but not discouraged. I had anticipated setbacks, especially in the early stages. While I’m getting off to a shaky start, I still have hopes high enough to stave off the negative dialogue in my head. I’m going to continue reporting here since it seems to help me focus. My apologies in advance if I stray too far into the mundane.
