Oops!!! I did it again
Nov 19 2008 18:48

You know I always start the day off with good intentions, but of course, we all know what good intentions lead to, right?  I get up in the morning, and follow my diet plan to a T, and on days that John isn't working, or the kids are here, I do great in the evenings.  The unfortunate part is John works three days a week, 24 hour shifts, and the kids are only here once a week.  Hence, I have plenty of time to stumble and fall because I lack will power.  When I was younger I saw those with no will power as weak and undisciplined, but now that I'm on the other end of the spectrum I can see how this happens.   A little fatigue, a little boredom and the next thing you know even Superman ice cream looks palatable (it's the only ice cream John's kids ever want), and your goal for the day goes flying out the window.  So after a long debate with myself, my puppy actually bringing me her leash to walk her outside (Anatolian's chew if they get bored, and need to be walked to fatigue them a couple of times a day so they don't become destructive) when I was really kind of considering just letting her out in the back yard, I walked the dog then came back here to fess up in my food log about my self described transgressions against my health and well being.   Of course, the heshey's nuggets didn't help, either, but that's sometimes what happens.  Fortunately, because of the insistence of my furry faced creature I did end up with a small calorie deficit today, and another vow that tomorrow is yet another day.
