If you Stumble and I did Big Time
Then just get back up. Don’t continue stumbling and making mistakes…isn’t that what “they” say???????? What a day yesterday. Everything started out picture perfect with my early morning walk.
Picked up my hubby at 4:00, off to see Dad. Dad was grumpy again…that will bring me right down and tempt me to eat and drink away the pain.
We stopped for dinner at one of our favs, I had already decided on soup and salad. Can’t go wrong if you pick the yummy homeade vegetable soup right? Well, dummy me choose the chicken strip dinner (cuz it was on sale) with soup and salad. OMG..fried chicken strips. Talk about the wrong choice 
I know it was the worst choice :( I came home and ate 94% fat free popcorn (good choice) but then found some red licorice…bad bad…then ate 1/2 cheese sandwich on wheat bun. WHATS WRONG WITH ME???????????
I went to bed almost in tears. I went way over my calories allowed and i’ve worked so hard to stay on plan.
Tonight we are supposed to go out for a celebration dinner, but its not gonna happen if I have any say. This also was supposed to be our big weekend… we celebrate anniversary and birthdays, but things change. We’ll just hang low here at home.
I’ll focus on Dads getting better and look forward to our vacation June 5th!!!
Sorry I’m not so upbeat as usual, I hope everyone has a wonderful day and a blessed weekend :wink:

Faith never rises above its confession.
E. W. Kenyon
From the fruit of his words a man shall be satisfied with good.
Proverbs 12:14
ah girlie…….we all have days like that. Focus on every meal for the next day or so and ENJOY them! Eat healthily and feel confident that you’ve made healthy choices. Dont beat yourself up over a little slip.
Welp, what’s done is done and no sense is staying down and out about it. What will that get us my friend? You know and I know that there are going to be days like that. The important thing is… what are we going to walk away from it with? Is it going to be “I screwed up and I’m not worth anything because of it” or is it going to be “I screwed up and I learned something from this little venture, and that will strengthen me for life”.
SO missy, we are going to pick ourselves up holding hands together, we are going to slap smiles on our faces, and we are going to trip right through this day with more strength and knowledge than we had yesterday. I just won’t have it any other way… I’m kinda hardheaded that way.
Go out and celebrate tonight and show yourself… no… PROVE to yourself that yesterday’s bad choice has taught you that you CAN celebrate life (annys and b-days) and make good choices while you are doing it. You do that, and you will absolutely be on top of the moon by the time you get home… that’s a promise from me to you.
Big HUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGS,

If this happened to you best friend, what would you tell her? Write it down, just like you would say it to her….. and then read it to yourself. You know my new motto, IMOBFF ? Make it your own. It is really helpful when you’re feeling down on yourself. You go have a great celebration dinner..and remember, we want to hear all about it.
We fall down…but we get up!
Was there a full moon last night?? Because, Jane, I KNOW what your feeling!!…Thing is yes, I learned from it, but I refuse to dwell on it today. And focusing on your Dad and your upcoming vacation is the way to go!! Stay Posistive, today is a new day..:) Have a great weekend!
As always, there are some fabulous comments already - you gotta love this place. Jane, so sorry you stumbled yesterday - it is sooooooooooo difficult to stray from the old comforting habits when we are feeling not quite right. you made both good and not so good choices and in the end you do just have to keep trying, right? that is what life is about - we are here now and this is our chance so we just have to pick ourselves up and go for it again. one day it will be easier and then we can move onto the next hurdle. I watched Austin this morning tumble down some stairs outside (just hte last 2 and he’s fine). What was amazing, though, was that he decided to get up, let mama check on him, and then he marched right back up to the top of the stairs to try again! YAY!!!! I was so inspired and so happy that he is learning not to give up! You, too, now! Keep climbing those stairs!
Jane~ I am with Shan. I am going to grab your other hand and we are going to skip our way to the beach where I will turn and smile to you both that you are back to the beach safely and then I will turn and with head held high walk away with pride that my friends are where they need to be!
YOu better go celebrate that anniversary and your birthday! For me, it’s not about the beach, but portion control!
Hey nothing is wrong with you; thank GOD i’m not an emotional eater or I would have eaten the kitchen sink. Just sitting here going through blogs…my morning search for heather null nothing nada so just waiting to pick up Dupree from school waiting…love you and don’t beat yourself up please!!!
Ok, we can pick you up and support you. That is what we are here for you. It happens to all of us, that is why we came here. You can and are doing it. Hugs,Kama
It’s okay we still love you whether you went over your points or not. It’s okay -Dee
