Yesterday was my wedding anniversary. My sweetie and I went out to Capitol Cider for dinner. I indulged myself with steak, french fries, grilled broccoli, and some hard cider. It was delicious. It was the first time in four months that I’d chosen to have a meal that was not compliant with the diet. Ate a lot of carbs between the cider and the fries.

Note the language there. I didn’t “fall off the wagon”. Nor am I a bad person and it certainly wasn’t a bad meal. It was my choice. Did I pay for it? Oh yeah. Severe headache a few hours later, plus brain fog, and kind of lethargic this morning. Probably won’t make that same choice again for a few months, maybe not until the holidays.

Still glad I indulged myself. It’s important to me to be able to do that every now and again.

However, if you’re feeling like indulging yourself without paying such a high price, do I have a deal for you!
