That was the theme of yesterday, One Step Forward, Two Steps Back. I started the day fasting. I was super hungry, but it was going well. At maybe 10 or 11 AM I was visiting with our HR manager when my boss walked in and offered me some almonds. We were in the middle of discussing firing someone so my mind was engaged elsewhere. While sticking out my hand, I said, “Sure.” A few minutes later sitting at my desk, while swallowing my last almond, I realized I had just eaten in the middle of my fast. I wasn’t very pleased with myself.
