Phase 2 Week 7 Day 5 Falling or Jumping off the Wagon

Dateline Wuxi, China, Thursday,  October 18, 2012

591 on the elliptical this morning.

Midnight and a half last night I had a glass of Compari on ice.  Sweet.  Totally sabotaging what would otherwise have been a pretty strict day of watching what I eat and drink.  Compulsions are hard to deal with late at night.   Truth is, I really enjoyed it and felt I deserved it after marking until past eleven and then entering marks.  But that’s bullshit, isn’t it.

Tonight we’re going to dinner with students.  This weekend we go to Shanghai for Jenny’s wedding and my birthday weekend.  Gonna be tough to stay on the program, if I even try.

Okay, dinner with the students was fun if a bit of a sensory overload.  I drank a lot of huang jiu.  Everybody was happy and friendly and LOUD.  Now I feel fat again.  Burping terrible Chinese spices.  I’m sure I’ll recover.
