Probably more disciplined than most, but some might say I could improve.
I'd like to think I strike a good balance. I work out 4-6 days each week. Took off this AM to go see if I could catch the lunar eclipse.
I invest, but put most of it on auto-pilot. If it comes out of my paycheck before I see it, I won't miss it.
That sort of thing.
But I won't deny myself a rootbeer float just because it's largely sugar. I just won't have 30 a month. Maybe 30 over the course of 18-24 months.
When I drink, I do try to stay on the one drink an hour plan. Or I'll have a beer, then a glass of water, then another beer.
Over new years this year, I had 4 or 5 drinks over the course of 4 hours, culminating in a glass of champagne when the clock struck 12.
I was the driver, and did have to pull over when one of our party of 50 somethings had to throw up. So I was certainly the most disciplined out of our party.
Disciplined doesn't mean no fun. Disciplined, to me anyway, means the fun doesn't entail undue risk. I can drink, but don't need to drink to blackout drunk. I can enjoy the occasional sweet treat, but not make it a staple of my diet. I can work out, but it doesn't include panic attacks if I cannot get to the gym one day. I can invest, but I don't need to obsess over the daily machinations of the markets.
