Controlled failure

Over the weekend I went to a friends house. It seems innocent, but I assure you something terrible happened. My only consolation is that it could have been worse. I ate some chips. I admit it, I wasn't even drunk upon this terrible action. I do have defense though. I allowed myself "1 serving" according to the bag. I ate them in this controlled fasion to avoid the Paul standard. This standard is me eating over a full bag of chips. I would like to think that I offset it slightly by buying only local beer (Catfish Cream Ale!). Regardless this failure cannot be hidden away and must be avenged (beyond getting drunk off of local beer).

In order to keep progress I am going to do the unthinkable. Now this may not be a big deal to many, but the shower is a sacred place to me. You get to just relax, pushing the heat as hot as possible without burning and just enter a serene place inside your head. While I have had vague goals of "navy showers" which would be turning off the water while lathering soap/shampoo. This is something I was hoping to leave for a month or two. Well this transgression nixed the idea of leaving the shower an untouched luxury. Now I am not going whole hog, not yet at least. For now I am just cutting down my shower time from 10 minutes to five. This may seem small to some, but this is going to be most difficult for me.

GODSPEED!
