OOPS

Well we're almost a week into the new year. How are those resolutions working out for you? If you're like me, you've already had a few slip-ups. Who hasn't? This is not a contest, it is an ongoing practice. I used to think that if I slipped up on my resolution, that it was over and I had lost, and everything would go downhill from there. So this year, if you wake up and cave in to the bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit that is calling your name, do not let the rest of your day suffer because of a little morning indiscretion. Get back on track and keep going. Sometimes a little 'oops' makes you stronger the rest of the day. Today I ate half of a jumbo oatmeal raisin cookie. after I finished, I was horrified with myself and continued the rest of the day with fruits, veggies, and grilled chicken. Somehow my 'oops' improved my day because I didn't dare do the mindless munching I usually do while I'm cooking dinner. Now, please don't think that jumbo cookies and drive thru biscuits are going to be the secret key to losing weight, because it's not. I know some of you got really excited there for a second. The moral of tattling on myself was that just because you slipped up, you don't have to sabatoge the rest of the day. Resolve to not let go of resolve and someday soon we'll all get the hang of this thing.
