This is Scott Becker with the Becker Private Equity and Business Podcast. Today's discussion and again, we've recently passed 7 million plus downloads. We're doing great on the Apple Podcast rankings. We're getting more feedback from listeners and we are so thankful for all those things. Today's discussion is my diet went off the rails yesterday. So here's the deal. It doesn't happen all that often, but maybe once a week or so, once every couple weeks, my diet and willpower totally goes off the rails. And there's a couple of things that generally happen that drive this. And I sort of look at three different triggers. One is it's almost like an alcoholic. If I have one bit of something, one bit of a cookie, that could be one trigger that triggers me in the wrong direction. Yesterday I've got one of the kids in town who works abroad and so it's so good to have Wren. And so I inject some of my bad habits on her. We went and tried this at a bakery that at bakery. And of course by some point I've just sort of given up. So that's one thing that drives it. The second thing that drives it is when I get out of my routine. I have a typical morning routine where I work for a few hours very early and not to brag on how early I get up and work, but I work for a few hours. Then I get, you know, then I get some kind of exercise in and stuff like that. But it's been one of these weeks where there's so many things going on. My routine has been off, my stress has been off. And so that also drives me to blow the diet. The third thing often causes me to blow the diet is too much caffeine. There's a point in time, which caffeine where whatever it does, it blows my impulse control and I'm just wanting to get more food and more stuff. So those things and the fourth thing that happens is I stop hydrating myself as well as I could. So multiple different things led to an all time blowout, horrendous diet date tomorrow. So, so here's the trick on this, here's the deal on this. There's a great, great concept in this I've seen a million times is don't go two days without a workout. If you blow one, make sure you get back at it the next day. If you're having a horrible diet day, well, okay, make sure the next day's a better day. So today's the rebound and recovery day. It's going to be salads, it's going to be discipline at dinner, it's going to be drinking a ton of water, the 80 ounces I needed, trying to bounce back. But you know, again, trying to avoid having too many of those days in the days in a row because everything tends to go downhill when I double and triple down on bad days of eating. So again, this may be apropos to nobody, it might be apropos to somebody. We hope you enjoy it. Thank you for listening to the Becker Private Equity and Business Podcast.
