Falling off the Wagon - and getting back on it

I deviated from my eating plan this week.

I got caught unprepared and hungry and did the unthinkable on Monday - went to Mickey D's. I got a cheeseburger and fries and a diet soda.

Then Wednesday night I went to Crackerbarrel and ate chicken tenders (fried), fried okra, hashbrown casserole and corn muffin.

It all tasted good.

I refuse to beat myself up. I am instead recognizing my cravings and acknowledging them.

Then today I am back on the plan.

I had a smoothie for breakfast. One banana, six strawberries, a big clump of watercress, a little coconut milk and some chia seeds.

That tasted good, too.

I also went on a six mile bike ride on my cool looking one speed bike.

That felt wonderful!

This will be lunch. Lots of leafy greens, radishes, carrots, a few walnut pieces, and garbanzo beans sprinkled with a little Bragg Amino Acids.

And despite my falling off the wagon, my weight this morning was:

214.5

Onward and downward!
