Make the Better Choice (MTBC) - 06/12/2017

All of us are faced with those times when making the "best" choice is something that isn't going to happen. Sometimes that is by circumstance...sometimes by limited choice...or sometimes personal preference.

DOCKANZ, a GoaD stalwart for several years, coined the phrase "Make the Better Choice" (MTBC) several years ago, and it's become an anchor for several of us on GoaD over the years. Basically, if you can't make the BEST choice...make the BETTER choice. You can, at least, do that much.

So - how have you made the better choice today?

I took a "day off" from tracking yesterday... life was very busy with getting up at 5:30 to hit daughter's swim meet, and then chores all afternoon... My eating choices weren't perfect, but they were very reasonable.

For a moment this morning, I looked back at yesterday and said to myself "Bah.. I ate well yesterday.. I burned some cals... I didn't track but I knew I was on track.. I don't need to do that count...."

Then reality set in, and I remembered the last time, that train of thought led me to regain much of what I'd lost previously.

So... My day off was exactly that. 1 day off - not the beginning of a pattern.

For some very specific reasons, I did not track on either Saturday or Sunday.

I am tracking today. As @bwmalone said, "...not the beginning of a pattern."
