Back In the Saddle Again

Day 67

Back in the Saddle again... I'm Back in the saddle again...

What a difference a day and copious amounts of ibubrophen makes. This has been a good day. I'm gong to chalk it up to the lovely weather and a much needed attitude adjustment. Begrudingly, I arose at 6:45 am this morning to get in an upper body workout. It was a good one too because I could barely lift my arms over my head to wash my hair afterward. I'm sure my husband thought to himself "why the hell doesn't she just lift her arms to do that?"

I finally, finally, FINALLY got a piece of cake! And, now I'm over it. I know that you've all been wondering about this all day so I thought I'd just get that out of the way.

The scale stayed the same this week, which I expected given my hormonal issues. I may weigh myself again tomorrow mainly because I can finally get my ring off after several days of being all bloated up like a blow fish. I think the real truth will reveal itself then. Or, I could just wait until next week and be giddy over another big loss.

All kiddng aside, here's the deal. I've had a rough couple of days. It's competely normal to hit a rough patch here and there. But, sometimes you don't know how bad it was until you get to the other side. I'm not happy about skipping so many workouts or some of my inappropriate eating. But, I can't change it. I'm not going to beat myself up about it. It's not worth it and it only leads to more destructive behavior.

If you're reading this and thinking that you've totally blown it, please know that you haven't. Pick up right where you are now and forge ahead. Leave the past behind you where it belongs. It doesn't matter what issue you are trying to conquer. Each passing moment is the opportunity for a new beginning.

Cheers!
