Optimistic

I’m several weeks into my diet and had a bit of a difficult week last week. It was harder to stay on track, I ate a lot of cookies, I had at least one adult beverage several times throughout the week and then totally blew it over the weekend. I drank a little more excessively than I have since I started the diet and I ate a lot. I actually had to take Saturday off from exercising because I was a tad hung over. It was just like old times! But, I got back in the saddle on Monday and buckled down for one hour of Pilates and another hour at the gym in the evening. I even had a staring contest with a plate of cookies and brownies and won. Today was another good day - walked for an hour during lunch and stayed well within my points.

Even with my over indulgence through the week and into the weekend I’m still optimistic that I will have at least maintained or lost a little bit of weight. And if I haven’t, I’ll be ok with that too.

If you try the best you can, If you try the best you can, The best you can is good enough.
