Indulgence

Exercise: Didn't get to the gym due to back issues, but went up and down my stairs a good amount of times. That should count for something!!

My words of the day:

Friday wasn't my best day as far as eating goes, but I figured what the hell. Everyone deserves a day of indulgence every now and then. I may have overdid it a bit, BUT I'm not gonna beat myself up over it. That doesn't help anything.

One of the main things I have learned on my getting healthy journey is that I need to take pride in the small accomplishments (for example I have chosen NOT to get Starbucks for the last 2 weeks despite REALLY wanting it) and not beating myself up over the inevitable mistakes I make. Mistakes are a part of the growth process and I have learned so much from the ones I have made! So for those who are maybe starting a journey of your own one tip I would give is to grab a notepad at the end of the day and write down several things that you did well that day!! It really can make a difference!
