Just because I screwed up doesn't mean I have to start over....

I think a lot of misconception goes into learning how to live a healthier lifestyle. For those of us who've tried this before you know what I am talking about. But this is NOT the atkins diet or rehab. You can't relapse. It's just constant decision making. Do I really want to put this cookie in my mouth??? Sure but ONLY 1 not 6! But it tastes SOOOO good. Replace it with something sweet but healthy. Watermelon is great for this. YOu can eat 6 pieces and feel SOOOO full and fulfilled but it's so much healthier. I keep reminding myself that I can't screw this up in 1 day. It would take weeks already to undo what I have already started doing for myself. Now that, my friends, is a good feeling. :)

Last week Max and I started doing healthier things together too. We took the dogs for longer walks. We went to the beach instead of staying at the house. I am so proud of him too. In the last week he has begun the process of quitting chewing tobacco and joined a gym too. I am not sure if it is my changes or him but whatever it is, I like it!
