Ms Elizabeth's Journal, 25 April 2017

Copied and pasted from dairyfarmgirlfitness.wordpress.com, um.. yesterday.. because well.. I'm about a focused as a cat chasing a laser pointer.

This weekend was one of the more challenging ones since I started my journey of healthy eating, exercising, and attempting to not teach the tiny humans to curse like truck drivers. I failed miserably on all fronts thanks to a giant package of glazed donuts, having only 5-6 hours a night of sleep finally catch up to me, a deep stressful conversation with my husband, and tiny humans that refused to take naps and wanted instead to go inside or outside every 4 minutes and 26 seconds. Inside, outside, inside, outside, snack, inside, drink, outside, go , go, go. I suppose that counts as some exercise but it also had me cursing like a truck driver the 109th time.

I am proud to say… The donut was just ok, the tiny bear cookies my kids keep raving about are absolutely disgusting, the ice cream was ok but not worth it, and today I am back on track. I’m eating more than I should but I’m eating all the approved things that I can eat and still be ok. I’m tracking. I will workout. I will succeed and beat this mountain with tiny baby steps in the right direction. I will not let sugar, stress, or tiny humans distract me from my main goal of being healthy.

Today my facebook account was also kind enough to remind me that 4 years from today I was on a different weightloss journey where I managed to get down to 140 lbs. I did it once. I will do it again. I will beat the 190’s and every level that comes after that. I will be healthy. I will feel comfortable in my own skin. I will be strong like moose.

With a weekend like that I don't think that you did bad. You could try doing like St. Francis of Assisi - he used to eat with anyone and always put ashes on his food to show that he wasn't worthy of it. Or you could just enjoy the moment and then get back to sensible eating.

From what I've read with others' experiences, sometimes the only way to make the lesson stick is to fail it once. Then you realize the importance. Sounds like this happened with you as well. You can do it!

You're doing well, DFW, and sticking at it! Great that junk food doesn't taste so good any more 😀 I think maybe kids are easily fooled into eating food that looks pretty, regardless of taste?
