Happy Tuesday everyone!

Yesterday I was in a slump...feeling like a fluffy fluffer walking around all day, after eating a BIT too many carbs/calories on Sunday.....

but I DIDN'T GIVE IN to the slumpy feeling..instead I drank plenty of water, enjoyed some delicious healthy meals, and today I feel like a NEW WOMAN!! :D

Its SO EASY to take a 'bad day' and turn it into a bad 2 days..into a bad week...etc...but today for me is PROOF that the best way to combat a bad day, is to be PATIENT, stay POSITIVE, and before you know it, you are back on track. :)

I hope you are all having a beautiful day!!!

Toodles!

    You are so right!!! It's tough to hang in there, but it is amazing the feeling the next day(s) when you didn't give up or give in to temptation!! Nice going!!!

    I TOTALLY agree! I felt this way all weekend after getting on the scale on first day of TOM...big mistake! Up 2.2lbs. Very discouraged. Woke up Monday (after being encouraged by Hubby Sunday night) and got right back into it. My proof today...lost all the period/water weight and 2.4 more lbs! I am re-energized and ready to keep going :)

    Awesome everyone!! The key is (I'm slowly learning this myself) that you CAN'T let your mind focus too much on yesterday...otherwise you will waste away today.....KEEP SMILING! :D

    Great job with your mind set! I had the same type of day yesterday but it ended up be a real eye opener. It was my ah ha moment.... Instead of the usual self pity and doing nothing I got up and moved! My 10 minutes turned into 60...and I realzied We can do it and will do it! We are in charge of our lives. Only we can decided if we are going to sit back or enjoy the ride :)

    Here's to much success!

    I always try to remember that every day is a new beginning. I learn from m mistakes (food and otherwise) and move on to each new day with a renewed outlook and positive attitude. You can't undo the apst but you can learn from it!

    Great job on your part!!!!!!!!!

    I felt the same way yesterday!!!! I eat too much last week and I am feeling a bit bloated. I feel it in my bones that this week I will eat healthier and DRINK LOTS of water!!!! I also agree with you Patient and Positive is the way to go to get you back on track!!!! 

    What kinds of salads or meals do you enjoy? I need some new ideas.

    I also needed this posted yesterday as I had a bad Sunday too.

    Monday was better for me as well. I needed more water to help out, but overall it was good.

    Thanks for posting this.

    I was right there with you yesterday!!! I decided to make a change of mood from feeling frumpy to fabulous.
    I decided to get up and dress up for work and do my hair. I ate really well yesterday (snuck a piece of chocolate in) and today I feel sooo much better~

    Yay!! I hope you are having a fabulous day!!! My FAVORITE go-to meal is always an egg-white omelet....I can eat it for breakfast/lunch/dinner and it keeps me SATISFIED! I just use:

    2 egg whites (34 cals)
    1/4 cup fat-free shredded cheddar (40 cals)
    diced mushrooms (10-20 cals)
    diced onion (10-20 cals)
    spinach (10-20 cals)

    Its SO SIMPLE, yet so amazing..and I always feel full afterwards.....yet not bloated..:)

    Thanks so much for this! :D I'm slowly coming to the same realizations you are... Recently, even if I've wanted to get down on myself for feeling like ... what was it? a fluffy fluffer?! ;D -- I've got myself right out of that mindset. I don't think it ever helps. Ever. :)
