Temptation is a powerful seductress that I have limited powers against. My Guy hurt his back, so I went and got him some wine and food so he could relax and deal with the pain. On the Fabulous side - I only had two glasses of wine (small pours) - which is a minor miracle and ate really well (rather than fried zucchini and pasta -- wanted badly). I realized that letting My Guy refill my glass is good if I want no moderation or control in what I drink because the glass never empties - however when I do it...there is some control imparted. Well at least last night.
My guy would have set me up, made sure I was good and then gone out running. I on the other hand did nothing. Work, TV the bit...but used it as a way out, which was a shame because before I knew he was hurt I was pretty ready to go face my demons. He was all pathetic and my subconscious couch potato screamed BINGO!!
Today at lunch I could have had a beer - because I plan to drink tonight - but didn't. I could have run this morning - but didn't. A lot of mixed things going on but overall - trying to be better. I would love to say I will run in the morning but I have an 8am meeting which means - HELL NO. So tomorrow night - while My Guy is at his running coach I have to find the muster to do it alone. Exercise in absences of being pushed out the door. If I make it through some of this stuff, major hurdles and habits will be demolished...I did say if!
i don't know about you, but tomorrow I am going to run two miles AS FAST AS I CAN. That will be for one exercise point, although I don't plan to run one step more than two miles. I will get my time for those two miles and post it nonchalantly on facebook. I think you need to try to beat me. Now, this is a race. Balls out.

PS I just got back from The Landing where I hung out with The Gang until last call.
My first thought was really Bob can kick my ass....then I read this quote of the day

So game on my friend!!
I hated every second of it. I hated every second leading up to it. I did it on a treadmill at the gym and ... I hated it. 20:12. If I ever challenge you after last call, don't take me seriously.
