My halo has fallen. I have been out every single night since September 5th. That is 14 days in a row.
Finally, I succumbed to a 17-hour day in a couple of moments of weakness. Twice yesterday I was caught off guard. Usually, I have something in the car to grab and eat. I ate a Nature Square from Second Cup. It is sort of like a Rice Krispie Square but with some other kind of flake cereal like Corn Flakes and has loads of sunflower seeds and the like. I really didn't know how to count it. Second to that I went to a concert last night with friends. Although there was supposed to be a reception prior there wasn't any food. I had a hot dog (no bun) and an apple before I left the house at 6 p.m. But by 11:30 p.m., my friends hadn't eaten and we all went to the Lone Star Grill. I couldn't see anything on the menu that would be suitable to eat so the other 4 people I was with ordered plates for the table.... quesadillas, sweet potato fries and taco chips with salsa and jalapenos. I didn't order anything except 2 Diet Cokes... another thing I don't usually have. As life would have it I nibbled. I was going to stop at the slice of quesadilla but I got into the taco chips and salsa.
Rule 1: Be prepared
Rule 2: Avoid bad situations
Rule 3: Don't eat late at night
Rule 4: Don't drink chemicals and fake sugars
Those are 4 rules I made for myself that I broke. I am slapping myself all around with a wet noodle.
Time to pull in the restraints and be good. That isn't easy because I looked at my calendar and I am out again every night for the next week with the exception of Rosh Hashana day which I am hosting and Monday, September 26th. I actually have to look to October before I get a night off.
