A little bump in the road is nothing that will stop the journey. 

Daily Comment:

It is almost the weekend, and I was trying to decide whether to change the schedule by having 2 cheat days in a row, or attempt to keep to the plan, or make some other change (regular day Saturday, cheat day Sunday, fast Monday).


I am faced with a really difficult Sunday schedule: An all-day recording session on Sunday, after which, I take the bass chair at Rooter's blues jam. There will be lots of off-plan food at the recording studio, and probably nothing I don't bring myself on-plan; and it will be a very, very long day (probably going on out until 2am Monday morning). 

Anyway, I was thinking about that when yet another factor came into play: This afternoon, I started feeling sick, with a sore throat and what feels like a low fever. After work, I made an early dinner, then went to a rehearsal. Psychically, I felt better. Physically, not so much.


After rehearsal, I came home and changed, and went to a club, feeling pretty much the same (but I had committed to showing up there). I had a shot of Jameson's (in a glass, sipped), and felt better.


Then I got home, and was really sick. And very tired. And I went a little crazy, and had a BIG cheat (you can read about it below). I don't know what in my was craving the nasty carbs, but I was too weak to fight it.

I think I'm going to try a reset: Saturday will not be a cheat day, that will be Sunday. I will fast on Monday. That seems like the path of least resistance.
