HCB's Journal, 28 July 2015

Excellent insight and wisdom (as always)...thanks sooo much for sharing and for SUPPORTING all of us!!! You are a blessing....have a very blessed day!!!!! 

Good for you to cut yourself some slack. You must not be too rigid. You can be flexible to handle whatever the day might bring. 

HCB you are doing fine and a smart young lady, I think you just had an AH HA moment :) Sweet 

That's a great perspective to have!  

Yes, don't be too hard on yourself. It's awesome that you were able to have positive self-talk in the mist of feeling bad for your choices. Great outlook! You are doing great by the way! :) 

I think it's called a life. There are times when it just happens for whatever reason. Don't be hard on yourself just keep moving forward. 

Sometimes you just have to give yourself a break....you've done great and you deserve one! Going a little off plan can also be a learning experience - let's you find out how such deviations affect you and give some insight in advance on dealing with maintenance once we get to our desired weight. 

Just like falling off a horse -- you just jump right back on it. Good job! 

how crazy , this just happened to me.. i realized i was stressing too much if i went over my carbs, missed a work out or whatever.. then i saw a post it that i stuck on my desk that said "get a life". it was meant to remind myself that there is more to life than just work but I realized, it applies here too. I realized ive met more then half my goal and as long as its still a lifestyle for me, then one day wont hurt.. or two .. LOL  

I do the same thing to myself. I think it's because I have come so far that I don't want to go back. You are right it is about moderation and balance. We have to celebrate sometimes. I hope you enjoyed your weekend!! 

What I've finally come to grips with is that guilt and regrets are not very productive. Every day is a new day, and if I focus on maintaining an overall healthy lifestyle -- then that's what counts, and I need to give myself a break when I have a day that includes a family celebration or other special event. Don't you agree? 

Yes! Hermione's Mom, I do agree! And, I also want to see progress and I know when I indulge a bit, I trend Up rather than down! 

Great job of bouncing back on track!  

I agree. You have to start again and do not dwell on the past. 

I wanted to thank you for the motiation you have give me to not be so hard on myself and realizing I have to take small baby steps no matter what I wait it takes small step. Thanks again 

I agree HCB I just wish I had time to give it a rest. My Goal to finish the interior of the living area of the house before the counters get here or at least the Game room and kitchen - I am not talking decorating I am talking work to get it there.
