I finally polished off the last of the Costco trail mix.  A colleague brought it in for us in mid December and it’s been haunting me in the break room ever since.  For some reason yesterday & today I have been absolutely unable to resist, might be TOM’s fault. 

I’m actually really relieved to have put it out of it’s misery!  I ate the last 1/2 cup and tossed the empty bag in the trash, good riddance!  At approximately 9 points for a 1/2 cup, it’s killing my post holiday recovery plan. 

To be honest it’s been one of those days.  I stood up my running partners this morning, the alarm that I doubled checked last night never went off.  Blasted alarms!  Some how it got turned off in the middle of the night.  So not only did I splurge on trail mix but I missed my only opportunity to workout today!  I’m just fortunate to have woken up in time for work but my poor dog, Jake, had to skip his favorite part of the day too.  Needless to say neither one of us were very happy with me this morning!  I’m hoping to take him for a late night walk when I finally get home. 

My resolution this year is to establish myself as his pack leader and relieve some of his anxiety issues.  His day is so much harder for him when I fail to get him out, lead him, and migrate with him somewhere (doesn’t matter where, just as long as we move together).  So I’m feeling guilty.  I have to make it a point to walk him tonight, regardless of what time I get home.  

Today will get better!  I’m here, there’s no more trail mix to tempt me, and this gloomy day shall pass.  Onward & upward!
