There are many days where I start out so strong and powerful, but then I make a stupid choice before the day is over. This morning I woke up early, grabbed a granola bar and jogged to the gym. Once there I did 45 minutes on one of the cardio machines. After I was done at the gym, I walked the 1.25 miles back home.
I made good food choices throughout the day, but by afternoon I felt so hungry and wanted to eat everything in sight. I pushed off the temptations and lectured myself on the consequences of a bad food choice. I have been so frustrated with my lack of weight loss that I should be militant about the calories, carbs, sodium, etc..
Tonight I am sad to report that my weak side won. Now that I have consumed the forbidden food I feel guilty as heck. I know that guilt will get me no where; therefore, I am just going to track the bad food, like the good ones. This holds me accountable for this bad decision and reminds me of it. Then I am going to move forward, make the right decisions and do my best.
The lesson to be learned today is that I am human. Everyday on the journey is not going to be perfect, I am going to make some bad choices, but I can't let them control me. I have found in my experience that once I let the guilt creep in, the journey gets harder and I have a higher likelihood to completely run off course. The best way to deal with these bad choices is to accept them and move on. Tomorrow is another day!
