This one time, I blew my second seven day resolution and no one was surprised.
I resolution’d last Friday that I would not eat any fast food for seven days (at least) and that I’d pack a healthy lunch for the entire work week. It’s damn near impossible for me to eat three healthy meals a day for any ongoing period of time. I do not diet but I figured I could do a week’s worth of excellent lunches. And on only day two of the work week everyone got together for a birthday lunch that happened to take place at my favorite chain of fast food places and I could not deny them. It would be cruel!
I could have worked around it but I didn’t. Because fail feels so right.
In a group of nine I sat with the two co-workers I’d socialized the least with and we had over an hour of intense, emotional conversation that I think surprised us all. When we got back to the office I sent a quick note: It was nice talking to you ladies! and they each sent back the sweetest damn notes that’ve ever been addressed to me.
So I’m totally cool with failing this week, is what I’m sayin’.
