Re: Yellowtulips Check In

It is true the 'little slip ups' are not what make us fail (unless it is day after day after day). I have gotten back on the pony and doing OK. I've added a couple more S days for December as holiday parties schedules have been set--and all are luncheon events. I've also decided to focus on 3 meals ...

I find that although there is no such thing as a 'failed' S day, I do need to pay attention if I hope to see the scale move!

I am so glad that today in an N day.

This past weeked I "was an idiot". And although I did not beat up on myself, I definitely didn't feel too good physically by the end of the day. On the upside: I learned what NOT to plan for my 'treat' :lol:

It was VERY easy to get back on track today.
