Lifting was decent today. I snuck in a workout during my lunch break at work. I think the eating went pretty well today. I brought in a bag of groceries including a few cans of soup, saltines and a box of instant oatmeal (regular flavor) to work with me so I won't have to scrounge around for candy. I also bought some sugar free instant oatmeal at the store last night.
I noticed something interesting tonight that's happened at least once before this month. I actually went to karate without taking any cigarettes along. I know I've done this at least twice. Traditionally speaking, It's exceptionally rare that I ever go anywhere without my cigarettes. I think it's a good sign.
Also ...it looks like this is my 100th post on GHF ...and it only took me a mere 1 year and 34 weeks!
