Monday fat pants....
So I have this pair of pants that are usually way too big for me, but I really like them. Unfortunately, on Mondays they tend to fit pretty well. Of course we all know why...Anyway, today...they are a bit snug :O Sooooo...it's time to recognize that my behaviors as of lately have been a bit off the reservation and it's time to get back in balance.
I was debating on the tone of how I wanted this post to be and I came to the conclusion that I could A. Sit here as I've been the last few days, all depressed and ashamed of what has conspired the last few weeks, Give you all the gory details and beat myself up. OR I could B. Recognize it, know that it happens to many people and it will probably happen again and instead, get back the maintenance program that I know works for me and quit second guessing it, obsessing about and trying to constantly tweak it when I already know it works and just DO IT!
I should be proud that I'm recognizing this now and not at a point when I need to buy new pants! And I wanted to post this just so that if anyone is in a similar place right now they can take comfort in the fact that they're not alone. I mean I'm pretty sure that this is a maintenance right of passage.
