Self-Control Score

My self-control "score" on a typical day:

- Went to the gym instead of going to Sports Rock to watch the Steeler game (thus avoided beer and greasy appetizer calories) = +1 point

- Resisted the urge to lay on my horn (one of my biggest guilty pleasures) at the pokey driver who went 10 miles an hour, causing me to miss the green arrow (Grrrrrr!) = +1 point

- Ate a huge iced cutout cookie at Giant Eagle after the gym. Everything else in the cart was a healthy food item (ironic, isn't it?)
= - 1 point

- Took time to cook a healthy recipe (baked sweet potato fries) with dinner instead of whipping up the Stove Top stuffing (which would have taken 5 minutes as opposed to 45 minutes) = +1 point.

So today, I would say I won, but this "battle" is never over. I don't always win, but I'll keep fighting the good fight.
