There is something about seeing someone who has a lot more shit to work through than me that helps me. Should I be eating cookies when I've already had my sweat cheat for the day? No. Is it the end of my healthy new lifestyle and attitude. No. After not meeting a weight goal or eating a little too much when out with friends the people on my TV hop right back on the wagon. Granted, they have cameras in their face and millions of people like me at home watching, but still, they persevere.
They don't over analyze why they reached for the cookies in the first place or decide to eat 8 more cookies to wallow in their mistake. They just shake it off and move on. They maintain a positive attitude whether even though they may have 100 or 200 pounds to lose. Because they are celebrating the journey that they decided to take to better health. This is about the war, not every single battle. My husband is very good at reminding me to get out out my head and to stop sabotaging myself. I'm so glad that I married such a glass is half full guy. Honestly, sometimes it's hard for me to even see the glass!
Starting a new eating plan one week before Christmas was ambitious enough. I'm going to do my best to make good food choices and get my workouts in this week. But if I don't meet all my goals and the scale isn't my friend Sunday morning I'm going to leave this week in the past and start fresh next week.
So what did I do today? I made a freezer full of healthy high protein and fiber smoothies to last me the next few days, baked spinach chips for snaking and ate more vegetables and fruits than normal. Tomorrow is another day but today isn't all that bad after all.
