Okay, I could've titled this installment "Fun With Numbers" but to heck with that. I have too much to do to watch the yo-yo do its thing.
This coming week I had hoped to hit five WODs and two endurance homework days. We'll see how that goes but it's looking grim. I'm publishing this at 4 a.m. because between the time change, an ill-advised cup of coffee late, and a rather disastrous problem with my latest article (not my fault but I get to help fix it!), I now have no clue what the first few days of this week will be like. Nor do I know if I'll get sleep today.
Also, I figured out that the dark chocolate is actually a point, so I'm going to go back and add up my point total. Then I'm going to be a bit more careful, but really, I might still eat it almost daily. In small amounts dark chocolate is great for your health, and convenient to make into a snack. Plus, if soemthing's working, why screw it up?
At some point I'd like to cut my dairy consumption by half, and try to reduce fruit as well. If I can plan and prepare enough ahead of time, perhaps I can pull it off for this final three week stretch and really kick tail for the sprint to the finish. Or work stuff will keep popping up. It's amazing how you think something is impossible and yet, it happens. Good and bad. Yet I cannot help but be proud of myself. This isn't about perfection or winning, it's about living better, and I guess that's happening. I've weathered these storms without binge eating, quitting exercise, binge drinking, flights of anger, pits of depression that last for days, tossing my Bible, or whatever would define the old Kevin from way way back when. When the fan sends it flying, I seem to lean on the very things I used to run from. I knew those things were good for me, yet I ran because they weren't easy. Hard on the front end, easier on the back end.

Okay, I discovered that the dark chocolate is a point, so in a day or two I'll update my points count, but for now... Based on the rules and all that, my total points for the day: 0
Total points so far: 6+ whatever
