Well it was a no-brainer as to who would win this battle.
My colleague at work cooked quite a spread of Mexican food for the department today. She teaches Spanish and is a great cook. Today it was quesadillas — chicken, black beans, cilantro. There was Mexican rice, chips, salsa, and cheese dip, oh and some delicious little brownie treats. I was doomed. Needless to say, my attempt to get back on track with watching my intake and abiding by Weight Watchers was foiled.
I do think that I have finally decided to part with drinking diet sodas. Over the last ten to fifteen years, I have always liked to drink Diet Pepsi. I would take some solace in the fact that they contained no calories. Lately, though, I recall a report that links diet drinks to something in the brain that triggers the craving for starches and salty food. I think I can shake the diet soda habit.
Well tomorrow is a new day, and I will have another day to succeed/fail.
Came home and washed the dog. My wife bombed the house with some airborne toxin designed to kill fleas. We’ll see.
I have a busy week this week with finals upon us. I have lots of grading to do, and I have to get a few exams ready to give. This summer, I am teaching all online — four sections — and I must get a chapter of my dissertation written. I just need to stay focused on it, and it will get done.
