I was going so well :(

I went out rockclimbing today, really pushed myself to the limit and got very hard climbs done. But at the end of the day I was offered a beer and couldn't resist, I didn't get drunk but that's not the point.

I find it especially hard when I've been climbing, as I really don't eat much if anything while climbing, only just enough to survive (400 cal over 8 hours usually), as anything extra draws blood away from the muscles, to go and work in the digestive system. Sounds insane but depending on how hard you are climbing, it can be serious enough as life and death. The downside is massive sugar and carbohydrate cravings, and when you have an alcohol problem.... well

A little disappointed in myself, but tomorrow is another day and I'll try again
