I got home at 3 a.m. and met my trainer for the run at 7 - and somehow, it happened. However, I drank very little (fortunately I can act like an idiot without a lot of alcohol!) and I don't recommend it - but the point is, you don't have to give up EVERYTHING all the time to live a mostly healthy life. Who said it - everything in moderation, including moderation? I like that. :-)Jessicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10756466302843463734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28269773.post-1154967380883300652006-08-07T12:16:00.000-04:002006-08-07T12:16:00.000-04:00Oh, BTW, my taper week is next week.... this is my last chance week...Meghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03803849418224386346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28269773.post-1154967333219334442006-08-07T12:15:00.000-04:002006-08-07T12:15:00.000-04:00When will they invent the "energy smoke?"

It's not about making it an all or nothing proposition. I am a binge drinker, and I need to break myself of this habit. That behavior is all or nothing. And I can quit smoking. I did 18 years ago, and I can now. A little social drinking and fun is not an issue with me...Weshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11399853707178925175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28269773.post-1154922082570317352006-08-06T23:41:00.000-04:002006-08-06T23:41:00.000-04:00I went to a wedding reception last night, had a little wine, danced a lot and ran 10 miles today. Rose is right - it's not all or nothing. We can have moderation in all things. Except maybe smoking, I think you should give up smoking. Smoking is contradictory to running. The rest of it though, heck, we all over eat and over drink occasionally. Just go with the flow.backofpackhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13779487553272296752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28269773.post-1154918436871160132006-08-06T22:40:00.000-04:002006-08-06T22:40:00.000-04:00Conviction and commitment are a very good thing. But do not make this an all or nothing proposition - we will never achieve perfection. Heck, <A HREF="http://sistersmile.blogspot.com/2006/08/one-down-five-to-go.html" REL="nofollow">Sister Smile</A> just did a 20 miler on 4 hours of sleep that was the result of a late night that included several glasses of wine AND she had a great run. I’m just saying, there is room for commitment to good health and room for just being human. ;-) <BR/><BR/>de de de dee de de de dee . . .<BR/><BR/>We are now returning control of your blog to you . . .Rosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17687402923759208249noreply@blogger.com
