Why this blog? Maybe so I have a public accounting. Ha ha ha! Maybe that's part of it, but truthfully the biggest part is that I totally believe there's strength in numbers.
I think it helps knowing that I'm not alone, that there are others who act and react just as I do at times. Maybe knowing this, I can quit beating myself up about some of my actions and just keep on going.
I'm not the first person who has decided there's nothing "decent" for breakfast so I'm going to have toast with six pats of butter on it (two pieces of toast, that is... not six pats on ONE piece).
I'm not the first person who went shopping while starving and totally cleaned out the snack food aisle.
And I'm not the first person who said I'm too tired to make dinner, what fast food place is on the way home?
But if I let any of these stop me from picking myself right back up and getting on the health wagon, then I'm just using them as excuses.
One fall does NOT mean the game is over.
So yeah, I did have toast with butter for breakfast today. A lot of butter.
A few years ago, I would have said, "Oh well, I've already blown it. I'll just eat whatever's around today and I'll start my healthy eating tomorrow."
Um... yeah, we know how well THAT works. Tomorrow never actually happens because IT'S ALWAYS TODAY. But the diets that start TOMORROW are so much easier to stay on.
So TODAY... for the rest of the day I ate a lot a fruits and vegetables along with some grilled salmon for lunch and soup for dinner.
I also went to the park with my kids and we played catch for an hour or two. Since I suck at catching, I burned a lot of calories chasing after the ball I kept missing.
I'm not going to worry about what I'm eating tomorrow or the next day or the next week or the next month. I only have to think about today.
I can eat healthy for one day, right?
And then tomorrow, all I have to do is eat healthy for one day, right?
:-)
