The truth is; I’ve been slacking on the self-discipline this past week and a half.
All my hard work–am I going to let it slip away?
I will not. I worked too hard for it. Down 18.5 pounds in 6 weeks; I will not revert to where I was.
I know “everything in moderation” and make sustainable changes so you can live with it. Back at it each day.
The thing is, I wanted a Big Mac junior today. That turned into a meal; that turned into a shamrock shake.
I came home to wallow (and felt sick). I took a bath, got in my pj’s, then got in bed under the covers. (This was 3pm mind you.)
Turns out you have good friends for a reason; they don’t let you settle and revert when they know how hard you have worked. Said friend invited me to join her and others on a run, and so I went. I got dressed, put the shoes on, drove to the place, ran the run.
Small victory.
My day was instantly restored. Back on track.
The wisdom I gleaned? It takes the same time to make a good decision as it does a bad decision. So don’t beat yourself up. Just make a good decision afterwards and smile to yourself knowing you overcame.
Thank you for sharing! I love what you said: “it takes the same time to make a good decision as it does a bad decision.” And then following it up with “Dont beat yourself up, just make a good decision afterwards.”
Such a much kinder way to treat ourselves. Love God, Love yourself right?!
Love you girl!
