Happy Monday. 6/6
Got a lot on my plate today. Got a massage over the weekend and now I'm really sore. The deep tissue massage was too deep. I felt a lot of popping in my traps when she was doing it. I thought it would feel better, but now almost feels swollen.

15+ min on elliptical: 6/3 - no elliptical but took my son to the amusement park and got in a lot of steps! 6/4 - no elliptical but did yard work and that felt like plenty, 6/5 - no elliptical, but took son to the waterpark and got in lots of swimming and steps!
I am really trying to see the positive here, which is that even though I ate crap at the waterpark yesterday, I logged it - of course my brain just wants to see the negative and feel like I failed life yesterday because I went off plan... ARGH! I guess all in all it was a good weekend though. Lots of fun that's for sure!1 -

Failed life? That sounds a little harsh to me. You were building memories with your son and that is a huge success in life. You were living life and learned that such times don't necessarily work out for your new WOE without some pre planning. Use that lesson to make plans for next time like packing beef jerky in your beach bag. (Climbing down from soapbox)6 -

Super excited. Diet back on track gradually for last 3 days and I felt energized when I got home from an 8am to 7pm intense work day including working lunch (beef stew with low sugar lemongrass sauce). Cycled to dinner (half a bunless burger) and my husband ate healthy too. Just finished my morning yoga, which I am back into the habit of. Feel great.
Many Thanks @paleoinscotland, @dasher602014 and the rest of our virtual cheer squad here. If I listed all those who inspire me, make me laugh and/or care it would be a huge list, instead sending each of you a virtual hug.6 -

@PanamaJane - just need to make sure the stress doesn't cause me to trip up - having a bit of it at the minute but so far so good, feeling much better and planning to stay on track1

@kathrout1973, feed your stress with deep breathing, not food, and you'll be good. If all else fails, take a stroll and let that picturesque place you live soak all that stress right out of your pores and into the very stones.3

Tuesday 6/7
ARG!!! Left my prepared lunch on the counter this morning. Fell off the no booze wagon last night. I feel like crap. It's going to be a long day, but I will get through it.
Yesterday:
Logged: great
Water: : great
Carb Goal: :great
Exercise: none
No booze: Not sure what happened. Broke into a bottle of red wine. Today I feel and look swollen. I know better, it's just self-sabotage. Not the right way to deal with stress.
Still looking forward to getting back on track and moving forward.0
