Can I be honest...

Well, we are halfway through week #1 of our WLB journey and I'm still feeling pretty good about my changes and success so far! I have to be honest with all of you though, I had a weak moment Wednesday night when the kids asked me to make cookies and I *may* have eaten a little more cookie dough than I had intended to. Not my proudest moment, but the kids and I were having fun and I got caught up in the moment. Luckily it was the only major slip-up I've had, and so it's not serious, but it did make me feel a little angry at myself... Then I thought about it and realized that I'm not perfect, and that it's OK to indulge every once in a while. Especially when I've been so good the rest of the week!
So, my message today is not to beat yourself up because you slipped... Sometimes having fun with your kids, or spouse, or friends is more important than checking the nutrition label.... So long as it's only once in a while :-)

A lifestyle change has to allow for some living. :)

p.s. Don't tell, but I had a brownie today. :)

I totally agree with you. Life happens and absolutely no one is perfect

I agree, as long as you don;t go too overboard and you check yourself and not let that ruin the rest of your week!

Amen! Totally agree :) Glad you had some good times with your kiddos and that the majority of your week was on target the way you wanted it to be!
