Something to Think About...

Bethany A. and I were chatting today and she brought up "something to think about". It is this idea of being all or nothing when it comes to our diet and exercise. So many things can throw us off the wagon of good habits... vacations, pregnancy, nursing, girls night out, holidays, stress... whatever it is it causes us to think "well if I'm going to blow it I might as well really blow it and fix it all LATER!". Then when LATER comes we kick ourselves for blowing it. We think "why did I do that now it is going to be so much harder to reach my goals and feel good." We give in to the momentary happiness instead of keeping the lasting true happiness in perspective. I personally have done this over and over. For example we just moved here to Houston things are nuts so I told myself I'll get back into my good eating habits LATER when we are more settled. Why not practice a little damage control instead of throwing caution to the wind? Good question! Today was an eye-opener for me... a plateau... after taking my meds I have to wait one hour before eating so I took my meds and then I had to go to Wal-mart. Faryn wanted donuts so by the time we were on our way home at 11:15 am I was so hungry. So I ate 3 donuts... yes that is not a typo 3 donuts. Then I had a bowl of ice cream for lunch and another donut for a snack! Then I talked to Bethany and made a healthy dinner.... I managed my portions and decided to stop before I get completely doped up on sugar. Tomorrow I will start my fabulous food and fun fitness log... what am I waiting for right?! So, here is something to think about...
