I had a great work out yesterday than blew it with a terrible binge at night. I biked for thirty minutes getting in ten miles which was the best I have ever done. The I did two miles on the treadmill at 3.2 speed, the best I have ever done. This was fantastic.So why did I blow it that night ?

It was a Good Christmas. I managed to feed my family a relatively healthy meal. We had steak, roasted potatoes, grilled brocolini, which my future sister in law and brother had never heard of, rolls, and a diabetic sugar free yogurt pie made from cool whip, jello, and sugar free yogurt. I gave them fresh veggies, fruit, and humus to snack on before the main meal. No one seemed to mind that there weren't the regular loads of desserts hanging around, although I had made for my brother a box of c...
