A Quick Hello!

Hello!
I wanted to drop in for a quick hello before going to bed. It was a busy day today. We went to a badminton invitational for my middle daughter (which lasted about 5 hours), went to lunch, went to the movies (saw Ghost Town which was great!), went to the gym and then finally got home about 30 minutes ago. I've since showered, posted on SparkPeople and am now winding down for bed.

I had a pretty good day yesterday, with the exception of a large piece of chocolate cake & veggie pizza. I didn't want to de-rail my wonderful week with an evening of bad choices. I let that go....made my YOU turn, if you will and moved forward today. I exercised a little harder at the gym and made my time there count. The decision to have cake will not take over my drive to succeed...it was just cake for heaven's sake. I did allow myself to feel guilt but I didn't allow it to go farther than that. I didn't allow it to ruin my day, or my weekend or my resolve. In some ways I'm even proud of myself for my "post cake reaction". LOL!

However, in the end, I decided no more large pieces of cake. My stomach hurt all night long....I'm just not used to that kind of sugar anymore. It was a bummer and totally not worth it in the end. (Which isn't an entirely bad thing).

OK...that "off my chest", I think I'll head to bed. I'm feeling great! I'm moving forward and I'm looking forward to my Monday weigh in.

Hugs for now.....
Shannon
