Positive Progress…Not Perfection

I have to keep remembering that I am not striving for perfection. I need to hold myself accountable but not beat myself down in order to do better. Yesterday did not go as well, BUT I didn’t do horrible…just could have made better choices.

My Mom called yesterday morning…she was FINALLY ready to get her ears pierced! So my daughter and I met up with my Mom and Dad and held her hand while she did it. I LOVE MY MOMMY! She looked so cute sitting in the chair. It went really well and hardly hurt her. I think she had built up a big fear and it turned out not to be bad after all. After that we went to get lunch. I had a crab cake sandwich and fries. I ate half the bun…I should have eaten none of it. And I ate fries…most but not all. I didn’t stuff myself, but I was definitely past where I needed to be.

Anyway, decided on the mini pizzas for dinner. I got the 100 calorie English muffins and turkey pepperoni. Again…some good choices mixed in there. And then my flop…brownies. They were on sale for a $1/box and I played the game…I’ll make then for the boys…yeah, the boys…guess what, I am now one of the boys. Had a scoop of ice cream with it…it was the sugar free kind. Choose better TODAY Deb!

I got back on track Monday with my eating and I glad to say I am down 2 pounds WITH TOM in tow! So I am looking to an even better weigh in next week when TOM is gone.

Have a SUPER Saturday buddies! Here’s to POSITIVE PROGRESS!!

Don’t be hard on yourself for your choices yesterday…everyone is entitled to a cheat day every now and again. You are back on track and better than every today. Be very proud of your accomplishment.

    What a great attitude!

    I remember going with my mom to get her ears pierced. I think she was in her later 30’s; probably close to where I am now. She was terrified to get her ears pierced. But we finally talked her into it. She did ok with the piercing but for the next few days aftward, when she had to clean them and turn them she would throw up! LOL!!

    I gained weight over time… figure the same in reverse. This past week I’ve been out of it. Not eating junk food, but eating more than I should in the evening because of skipping a good breakfast & lunch. Took a peek on the scale tonight.. no gain, but no lose. I’ve got to get back on track like you have done, but sometimes just so much you can do. Day to day… no beat up’s; I’ll just try better tomorrow & sure you will too. Liz
