Thank Goodness For A New Week!!!

Okay, so I had that long blog that was a pep talk to myself, but I didn't follow through! I made very poor choices this week and it definitely shows in my weigh in! Holy cow! Does it ever show! Anyway, I was getting really frustrated and down on myself when I realized that just because I had a horribly week, it doesn't mean that I'm a failure. I knew that I was making poor choices, and I decided that those were choices that I wanted to make. Now, of course, I wish I hadn't made them, but on the other hand, now I can have a great comeback! :-)
On Sunday, we had our ward conference and in YW the Stake YW Pres. talked about exactness. She said that if we have a goal of saying something nice to someone every day for 2 weeks and we forget to do it for a day, does that mean that we just say, "Oh, oops. I missed up, I guess I'll quit." NO! It doesn't mean that. I decided to apply her talk to my life. It seems that I usually start really strong with something, losing weight, and then after about a month, I just kind of stop doing it for one reason or another. Anyway, I realize that I don't have to quit just because I had a bad week. There have been some HUGE things that have happened this past week that are way out of my control, but I want to fix them. I have found that I've been really stressed out about some of these things and I felt like I didn't have the energy to fix something good to eat or to exercise. But, I sure had the energy and the time to make cookies! Okay, so here I am so, so, so grateful for a new week. I am ready for a new start. I'm glad that we still have some time before this competition is over! I still have my goal in sight, and I am going to try my best to reach it.
Thanks for your comments on my blog everybody. And thanks for your encouragement and your belief in me. I really appreciate it.
