Day 5 Done!

Did any of you ever do that New Year's Resolution thing with getting back in shape?  You know how that works.  You swear you will do right and convince yourself of your strength and resolve.  Then you recruit your friends to be your concrete support.  Then you get invited by one of them to a gathering where every food you promised not to eat seems to be getting thrown at you.  You justify a simple compromise writing it off as a snack.  After all, you would eat properly if the food on your plan was there ... and you pride yourself in your new found ability to use moderation.  That is the goal isn't it?  Moderation.  And then you moderately eat everything in sight.  At that point, you realize that you have just totally violated everything you previously committed yourself to.  In that moment, you breathe easily deciding that you will wait till spring because that will better fit your schedule considering all of the dinners you are going to have to go to .. and forget all about Easter and the spring holidays...just like you did last year.

I am not going to be that guy this time.
