May Not Be As Bad As You Think.....

I had a horrible, off plan weekend.

I avoided my Health Coach, as well as my scale.

Today, I faced the music and got onto the scale.  Up 1 pound.

At first, I was like, "whew!  Just one pound....thank goodness!"

But then I realized, that the one pound I was up, could have been one or two down if I had stayed on plan.  But still, it could have been worse...at lot worse!

After you make some really off plan choices, the best thing you can do is face it and move on.  Learn from your mistakes, and do better next time.  The worst thing to do is pretend it didn't happen.

When I pretend it didn't happen, I don't weigh in.  I don't talk to my Health Coach.  I continue to eat off plan.  Then, instead of gaining just a pound or two, it becomes 5....then 10.  Next thing I know, I have been eating lots of unhealthy food and the healthy habits I worked so hard to build, go right out the window.

Yesterday, I was back to 100% on plan.  Today I am 100%.  I am taking it one day at a time.  Small steps.  This week I learned that I am going to make mistakes along the way, but I am not going to make a small mistake an even bigger one.

I am going to weigh in.  I am going to talk to my Coach.  I am going to stick to the plan.

That pound is going to be gone before you know it....and it's taking some friends with it!

Have a great day!
