I am still battling the binge mentality that started to bed in on my 2-week trip to Asia which I only partly mitigated with efforts to workout on the trip.

At the moment I am still lapsing, usually after too much wine, then battling to keep physical well-being with short, intense workouts. It's amazing how powerful they can be in restoring a feeling of hormonal balance.... but amazing how quickly that can be sabotaged with a lapse.

This time I can feel the grip of the dark planet starting to loosen. I just need to escape its orbit entirely; a full week of good food and good workouts will free my mind of the nagging temptations trying to pull me back down.
