I swore off sugar and alcohol until my birthday (more on that tomorrow), and not a minute too soon. This was in my office all afternoon:
Those are See's Candies, brought into the office by a student who just returned from California. You can't get those things out here, so it's not just delicious chocolate but a slice of home for this perpetually homesick Angeleno.
Still, I didn't touch them, I just fetishized them for a bit and took a photo. Honestly I probably got as much enjoyment out of that as I would have eating them. No really! Don't laugh. The first one would have been delicious but I don't know if I would have stopped at one. They sat on the table all day like that, all half-eaten where everybody in the office took one, just one, and left the rest for everyone else. In another life I would have eaten most or all of them, given myself a stomachache, and been the pig of the office who bogarted all the chocolate. It's better this way? I don't know, I just know that I don't regret not eating one.
I had Crossfit after work, which was awesome. I worked on clean & jerks which are starting to become some of my favorite lifts. For me the clean is the complicated part, once I get it up there I can jerk all day. But my clean is improving with practice and I managed to have a ton of fun today and increase my max from 75# to 85#.
After 20 minutes of that we did the actual workout, which was alternating burpees and knees-to-elbows. KTE is a hanging-from-the-bar-by-your-hands move so my calluses were screaming again. At least I managed not to break them this time.
Wow. That's restraint. All the junk at work is killing me. It's so easy to rationalize treating myself and so much harder to pass when I see everyone else eating it. Next time I'll try taking a photo :).
