Day 85 of 103in365: Weigh-in Monday 31/103

Merry Christmas!

Tomorrow is Christmas and I am very excited to have such great family to spend the holiday with!

I got on the scale this morning and what I saw both suprised me, and at the same time, didn't suprise me. I gained 2 lbs.

There is a few different ways I could process that, and at the end of the day, I am choosing to look the fact that I am still down 31 LBS since October 1! Not too shabby!

I felt myself slip a bit this week. Some food choices that were not great and some snacking that I could have done better.

I am going to enjoy tomorrow anyway and have a great Christmas including a great Christmas dinner! I will just go for a walk after dinner, instead of laying down on the couch for a nap. (there's a first time for everything)

I am choosing to keep my head up and focus on the positives and not let a scale take away my momentum. I am going to work a little harder this week, and get back the ground I lost. I have a long way to go and I suspect this will not be the last week I gain an lb or two.

It is more important that we learn from our success than our mistakes. Our successes teach us something much more valuable than what not to do (or what we did again) Our successes teach us what we should do more of, and what works.This helps us to not only stay on the road to our goals, but to find our way back to the road when we get off track.

Take away for tonight (and then I will let you get back to your Christmas). Don't spend all your effort learning from your mistakes. Remember to learn from your successes, since the successes are what you want more of.

Have a Merry Christmas!!
