It is tempting to try starting all over again from Day 1 whenever there is a less-than-ideal day. How often have I struggled with the tiny perfectionist within me whenever I stumble. I think it is better to just dust yourself off and keep moving forward. After all, you have had a series of "good" days where things fell just the way you planned. They count so much more than one bobble on the path to a healthier life!

don't feel silly! If i'd figured that out years ago I wouldn't have wound up at my high weight of 332.2lbs!! I had a binge yesterday so I understand, it was early evening and I hadn't had dinner so I thought i'd just have a 100calorie bar... then I had another and then thought i'd better eat real food and ate these filo quiche pie thingies my mum made... not so bad for you but they did put me over... and then I ate another couple of 100cal bars, knowing i'd planned on not eating dinner due to having hot choc and biscuits at mums. Needless to say today my weight is up and my workout was lethargic as!! (I'm surprised I bothered to get out of bed I was so tired from digesting rubbish all night) but today is already better, I've worked out knowing I can't tonight as I'll be working 9am-9pm ish. We'll get there and we'll look even better than we do now! :)

one day MEH move on and get back on track but don't start again it was one day!! You'll do fine, eat less calories for the next few days to compensate and watch that weight keep dropping off. :)

I have completed my first week of Turbo jam as of yesterday. Tomorrow I'll be starting my second week..however...I REALLY messed up today on my eating. I went to a super bowl party and started out good with the veggies and the dip...but then had some chilli and a burger...then enchiladas...then cake...then a hot pocket...oh my gosh I feel horrible. I still havent taken a "before" picture...it seems like i never seem to make the time for it...or maybe i just dont wanna see it lol ...I am just wondering if i should start over week one? or keep going? I just feel like I have totally messed it up...I am sure I gained back the 5 pounds I lost this past week, just in todays eating. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!
