NIKKI8's CalorieKing blog
Thursday, Apr 5 2007 - BFL Week 2 Day 5
View NIKKI8's food & exercise for this day
My family is in town so I will be busy for the next few days. I don't know how often I'll get to blog, but I will be logging. I had a little slip up today. I had 2 mini cadbury caramel eggs. Ugh. I know it was a small slip, but I hate that i had a slip at all. I really wanted to stay on track. But progress, not perfection is the goal. And I am definitely making progress. I am doing so much better than I did a few weeks ago. It's going to be hard to eat healthy with my family here. But I just need to do well tomorrow and then I'm going to give myself a free day for Sat. and Sunday.
I also don't think I'll get to exercise while they're here so I'll have to be a little careful.
I wrote on the BFL thread today that I need to remember that I am changing poor eating habits. Habits that I've had for a long time. That takes time. At least 21 days, the research says. I'm only in week 2. I must be patient with myself. It will get easier as I make new habits. Not easy, but easier. I keep telling myself that I want to be a healthy example for my kids. And I want to have a long, healthy life to be around for them as they grow.
Okay, that's all my deep thoughts for today. Except, I want to remember to worship the Lord and remember what He has done for me this Easter weekend.

I am with you. I hate slips at all!
:evil: We have to forgive ourselves for them and move on...like you said...we are not and can not be perfect. You should pat yourself on the back for the great effort and I know you will continue to do well! Enjoy your family and your weekend!

You are doing great, and I think you hit the nail on the head when you said, "Progress, no perfection, is the goal." Just aim to be a good example for your family too, and I think that will help you stay on track while they are here. Enjoy your Easter with your family. Have you come up with some good ways to talk about the meaning with your kids? I'm trying to come up some ways today. I may go pick up some of the Resurrection Eggs. I am going to Curves this afternoon -- that will be Day 3, and then I plan to go tomorrow morning! YEAH
