I should have known that starting a blog was bad luck. After 4 months of a highly successful effort to change my eating habits, I’ve finally hit the week that threw me off the rails. It’s a perfect storm of:

  • final exam period plus a consulting project (read: 12 hour work days),
  • terrible allergies (no energy and no sleep),
  • and moving in two weeks (with three going away parties this week).

Let me calm myself down (as I scarf down the sandwich and coffee I bought for lunch) by remembering that falling off the wagon is a temporary state. I can get right back on. A week of eating crap does not undo me.

On the bright side, the bulbs are blooming all over campus this week (a bequest from a Dutch benefactor pays for this every year), so tomorrow I’m bringing in my camera for a lunchtime photo expedition.
