Starting over...

I somewhat agree with this quote... But I wanted to take a moment to clarify the difference from starting new and starting over! I think that the way we see our mistakes and choices greatly affects the way we see our success & victory!

So I have to confess... I did it! Guilty as charged! I enjoyed the turkey and sweet potatoes! The chocolate pecan pie and magic cookie bars!  The leftovers...

I enjoyed them all! I fell off the workout wagon... I did exercise! But not as much as I would have liked...

I didn't drink enough water... Or say no to seconds...

I'm guilty... My tummy feels it...but guess what...

I am not starting over!

What?

Yes I am not starting over.... Ok so does this mean I quit? NO!

It means that I fell off the path and now I am getting back in track. I don't have to go back to start. This isn't a game of sorry where I am bumped out of place and have to start over... Because thankfully I have been working hard these past 6 months to make life long lasting change... And so I am continuing my journey... Not starting over. 

Do you see the difference? Starting over is for those who quit and undo all their progress... You cant do that in one long weekend.... 

Yes you can do some damage ;) but you can't completely debunk how far you have come! So start new... Yes. Start over No... At least not from the beginning...

Because you are in a different place... You are moving forward!

Now we can either allow this to cause a spiral... Or we can make a plan...

.I need a plan. A realistic plan or else I can end up falling off the wagon a lot in the upcoming days...so what's the plan? Stay tuned! I will share a survive & enjoy the holidays post soon! Have a Blessed day!
