I am feeling a little upset with myself and trying to put it behind me and move forward. I fell of the wagon with eating last night. I know there is nothing at the moment that can change it and I have to move forward from today. I will not let it linger and will not let it effect what I choose to do today. So I start of my day with a delicious bowl of oatmeal and egg whites. I have had some computer time this morning and I will now get dressed and take a nice long walk and enjoy this beautiful morning.
We will be heading to Kenosha for Easter dinner with the family. I think I have decided that I will bring myself my chicken salad to eat. I can not worry what other will think I have to do what is best for me. For me this is about visit and see the family it is not about how much empty calories I can eat. I feel good about the decision I made and can put that behind me. I think I will make a batch of spiced pecans to bring tonight along with some fresh strawberries and maybe will look around on the computer for some healthy dip for them.
I am looking forward to getting my weight back down from yesterday free for all. I will not let my weight define me. Can you tell I am still struggling a little? :) I do want to attempt to begin to work on eating healthy food and get away from relying on the scale to tell me if I am successful with what I am doing. I have learned so much from reading a lot of blogs and there are some wonderful food I have yet to discover. I did make a red kale salad yesterday. I had never had kale before and was a little nervous about trying it. The salad was delicious and I have to thank Abby for posting it on her blog. So good!! I will definitely be having that again.
Here is to healthy eating!!!

Don't beat yourself up about the meal. Actually, a high calorie meal after eating healthy can cause you to have a sudden drop in weight. So just stick to healthy eating the rest of the time. Maybe that scale will surprise you this week.
Enjoy your time with family. :)
Great attitude, Kathi. The best we can do when we slip up is to take whatever lesson we can from it & learn from it...what event(s) lead me to slip up?...have I been depriving myself?...how is my relationship with food? Is food nutrition for my body or a comforter or favorite past time? I understand your struggles, Kathi because these are the very things I'm working at changing in my life & this is why Kim has me journaling about them. You will conquer this! :) I hope you had a lovely Easter with your family. Here's to another strong week!
I wish I did not let the scale define me, either. I thought I was getting better at it, but this week has been "like old times" :(
Good for you for trying something new! Red Kale sounds so interesting - I'll look out for it!
I can totally relate to the struggles too. I just got a new plan in place for myself. I am in physical therapy three times a week for my knee and hip so my workouts are restricted so I am totally tightening up my nutrition. You have a good plan and you will meet your goals! hugs!
