I’m back with some great news and some thoughts for the week.
My Excitement!
I’ve joined up in the Biggest Loser Round 12 Challenge on SparkPeople!!!
I’m a Light Blue Bombshell!!
I am super excited.
I have actually purchased the new SparkPeople book as well and a review will come shortly.

My Thought
I was reading the chapter guide for the 1st chapter of the book and it asks a very good question that I feel is quite relative to my situation now.

How do you react to mistakes? Do you let them get you down and then stray from the path toward your goals, or do you shrug them off? What if you gave yourself permission to make mistakes, seeing them less as failures and more as learning opportunities that everyone goes through from time to time?

I am the type of person who lets my mistakes get to me and then I stray from my path. It’s an unfortunate cycle that has been repeated throughout my life. If I do something wrong I stop doing it. If I eat too much one day I don’t eat right the next. I let my side of the house get unorganized and cluttered and it jst stays that way. It’s all the same thing!
Today starts a new for me. I WILL give myself permission to make mistakes. I can eff up royally and it’s OK. It’s OK as long as I look at these eff ups as learning experiences and don’t beat the crap out of myself over them.

This is a new day, a new year and this is the time for me to get my crap in order. I will achieve my goals of eating healthier and exercising. Even if I don’t lose a POUND I will at least be making healthier choices for myself. THis is what’s most important.
