"You can have the results you say you want, or you can have all the reasons in the world why you can’t have them. But you can’t have both. Reasons or results. You get to choose."

The thing is....

.... I think I know what happened yesterday... but is it an excuse... or a learning opportunity...  or both...  or neither?


I am still on track with exercise.


But not yet back on track with eating.  Not far off track as I ate all my treats yesterday and have not purchased more...  but not eating 'intentionally' on plan.


Yesterday I forgot my concerta.  Is that why I had less impulse control?  I don't know.  But it has happened before that no concerta means going off track.  In my work bag I actually have 'spares' so I can take them after I leave the house if needed.  I don't use my work bag on Sunday.  And I can't take them too late in the day or I can't sleep.


So knowing that, and having taken today's dose, I really should have been back on track.


It's now 9:10pm and I plan no further eating tonight.


Tomorrow is a new day.  A day when I will take my concerta. 


Tomorrow is my final painting class of this term.


Tomorrow I have an appointment with my therapist.


Tomorrow is the day TOM is due.


Tomorrow may or may not be the day I get back on track (given I will be away Thursday/Friday for my Uncle's funeral) but it is certainly a day I will be thinking about it.


Tomorrow is one day closer to me being at goal.  Because regardless of whether I get back on plan tomorrow or Saturday or next month, I WILL get back on plan and I WILL get to goal.  Of those two facts I have no doubts at all.


And that is my honesty and accountability post for today.


Thanks to those who gave me such wonderfully supportive comments.

IT happens Fiona. And you are punishing yourself over it! That is good!
And like you said, you are exercising. You are counterbalancing the not so good eating decisions with exercise. That works! Trust me...I just learnt that! :)

good luck with whatever tomorrow brings!
