I vowed when I got up this morning to make March a perfect month in terms of eating and exercise. I don't know why I continue to make vows like that because I didn't exercise and I just had some M&Ms. I keep looking at specific dates and saying "this is the day I'll change." Looking back on it, whenever I have made a big change - like when I stopped drinking - the date only became significant when I looked back afterwards and recalled that it was when I started. One day at a time is a mantra I've never forgotten in almost 17 years as a recovering alcoholic. I have to extend that to the rest of my life. Tomorrow, in addition to not having a drink, I won't have M&Ms for dinner. That's a promise I can keep.
