Have you ever been to Sunfest? I have. I have for many, many, years. Every year I am out on the barge determining if I need to throw up or have another shot. This year was completely different. I just needed to get through today. Focus on eating right. Dance and get my steps in.
Of course, they upped their game! The food section this year was off the chain with more selections. Chicken and Waffles, always wanted to try that. Fried pickles, I could eat those for breakfast lunch and dinner. Chick-Fil-A? What! Fried Chicken on a yummy bun, IN!
Then there were the Rum stands and the beer stands every 250 feet. This was a challenge to say the least. So how did I do?
Well, I ate as I should in the morning. We went to Duffy's prior to going in the gates and I had the appetizer of Shrimp Tacos. I figured that was better then the 10 wings I wanted. I drank 2-33 ounce bottles of Smart water and then entered Satan's playground.
The positive, I got in almost all 10K steps. The negative is that in 7 hours I had one Coors Light, one Blue Moon Belgium IPA and one Gin and Soda. The gin & soda, I think was more soda then water. I did the best I could at the food area. I got the Gyro with chicken, no tzatziki sauce and put on some red wine vinegar. I did totally eat the pita bread.
So did I win this day? I think I did. If it had been the previous year I would have had several rum punches, several beers, tried the chicken and waffles, the spicy chicken sandwich from Chick-Fil-A and then gotten some candied almonds. I would have gone to World of Beer and drank some cool stouts and called it a uber night.
I take it as a win! Could I have done better? Yup. However, for today, I did better then yesterday. I did more then last year. I did more than last week. So maybe it is one day at a time. Maybe I do focus on right now and then compare myself to before to see my improvements. Use that opportunity to praise myself, instead of beat myself up about what I did wrong.
Today, I won!

| Now to Sunday brunch with friends. How about I do one meal at a time? No to bottomless mimosas. I don't think I have ever done that. |
