Back on Track Again

Hi All,
      So I got threw yesterday o.k.. I even had my healthier Nachos for dinner during the Super Bowl. I have to say they weren't bad at all. I'm not letting yesterday's setback get me down. It's time to move forward again and get this train back on the track. After reviewing my program results on SparkPeople.com I really don't need to feel so bad about where I'm positioned at this pint in time. I had a strong start and that was motivating but now reality sets in and it's not going to be that easy. When I look at my progress chart for the year and where I'm supposed to be I'm in good shape. The website sets weekly progress goals for you based on the over all goal and timeline. This is also how it builds your meal plan and exercise plan. So if I look at my progress vs. the yearly plan I am still ahead of the game. This should help me recover faster from any setback as long as I am committed. So, getting back on track is now the plan.

     The family still is not going to make it easy. Yesterday my wife did some more shopping for groceries with the  weekly meal plan in hand. I didn't go with her because she went out late and I wasn't going to miss the kick-off of the big game. She did fairly well on her own this time with one exception. She still likes to buy treats, it's a habit she just can't break free from at this time. I don't know why she's hanging on to this habit. She came home with a family pack of individually wrapped Reese's Peanut Butter cups (My all time favorite snack, Really!!). When confronted about it while unpacking the groceries, she laughs and says, "Well there are other people in this house too you know, maybe their not for you". Everyone else in the house will eat just about any snack foods that are available. Why does she keep purchasing my favorites? It's not like everyone else doesn't have their own favorite snacks cause they do. After four weeks I am even more convinced that it's going to be the hardest thing I do, getting my family to make smarted choices.

Have a good one, keep strong and don't let little setbacks keep you from your goal!

Thanx,
Looper
