Went a bit off the rails starting Saturday evening. COVID lockdown restrictions just loosened enough for me and my wife to have dinner with her parents after 10 weeks of not being able to be in another persons home. We had sort of an informal, making up for Christmas and a couple birthdays that we’d have normally got together for, kind of thing. I let myself have that “cheat meal” but today I also didn’t eat well and I didn’t track my food like I have been.
Normally I would have beat myself up about this and probably caused me to eat badly for much longer, but I’ve made an agreement with myself that it’s back to my plan tomorrow. I’ve learned that I need to take small steps rather than having an all or nothing mentality. It’s ok to stumble as long as you keep going.
I’m down about 5lbs after a month of making many small choices to be healthier every day and that has been really motivating.
I’ve gone through phases of trying to lose weight and be healthier over the years, but this time really does feel different. I think I’ve found an approach that can work long term.
