188 Again.

Tuesday, December 30th, 2008

So today Rene and I had lunch at a place called Pig Iron BBQ. It was grub. Sure they have BBQ dishes. Yet even better than their BBQ are the really fantastic side dishes like collard greens and creamed corn and potato salad and sweet potato french fries and corn bread dressing. The sides are so good that they have an entree that consists of a selection of four of them. I am giddy just talking about it.

Sadly, this is a perfect example of the past 14 days of holiday and snowmaggedon binge eating. I just completely lost all sanity when it started snowing and didn’t stop for days and days and days. This meant I was staying at home all day baking (why did I get rid of cable?) and not going to the gym. It’s a slippery slope and suffice to say, I am off the tracks and back at 188 lbs again. Ugh.

A year ago I would have really starting beating myself up over having a setback like this, but nowadays I am just looking at this as a minor slip up. Not the end of the world, but something to be mindful about. There are wonderful things happening despite what the number is on that scale. I am in love with the life that I am making for myself and I’m not gonna let a “slip up” stop the progress.

And that’s what’s different about me in 2008.
