After last Sunday's Superbowl victory (mine!), the week just went downhill. Lots happened: First of all, I was totally PMSing and craving chocolate and anything else I could get my hands on EVERY DAY. On top of that, a bad incident occurred with our beloved pooch and we had to have her put down. Add to that the feeling of walls caving in 'cause there's just so much to do in the next 2 weeks.....and I lost it. I panicked and lost control. Of everything. Instead of getting more things done and being super efficient, I shut down and seemed paralyzed, stuck, unable to do anything.
This resulted in me allowing myself a small handful of semi-sweet chocolate chips once a day. Then Wednesday rolled around, and due to unforeseen circumstances, couldn't start thinking about dinner until quite late - 6:40pm on a school night - which resulted in me picking up pizza on the way home. Thursday was my birthday....so more chocolate, and Friday was reward day in my classroom which meant ice cream sundaes at lunch.
So in the end, this is what I've learned and decided:
1) I took the week off, and it's ok. It does not put me back at the beginning, just put off my progress for a week.
2) Sometimes life happens and even the best intentions get flushed down the drain.
3) The scale has not really scared me this week. It was actually better to me than I thought it would be.
4) A week off is just a week off, nothing more. Time to get back on track tomorrow, and when it's all said and done, will I even remember that I took this week off?
5) Lastly, don't be too hard on yourself. It's ok to falter along the journey - as long as you get back up, and keep moving forward.
There you have it. Back on the saddle domani - and looking forward to it!
