I'm Home/Back to Reality

Okay I'm back bloggies! Unfortunately I just don't have it in me to post the pics I've taken since Friday! I love yas and all, but I am utterly exhausted and plan on getting back to my regularly scheduled programming tomorrow :-D

Although I might as well get it all off my chest right now. I friggin blew it this week B.L.E.W. it. I have no idea what came over me to be honest, but I let it get out of control and let my mindset slip into vacation mode for no good reason at all. I suppose that could be an indication that I was trying to be too good for too much % of the time without allowing for enough "treats." Although I didn't really feel like that was the case, so that might not be it. I suppose it was just a good old fashioned "slip up" which is what we humans do! That is just the reality of this journey. Sounds cliche maybe, but it's cliche for a reason. But that is that and I am back to tracking and being good as of breakfast tomorrow morning! I will say though that me and my Dad enjoyed a fabulous bowl of oats this morning a la moi and he loved it of course ;-)

And as for the funeral, everything was very nice/better than I ever would have expected and I want to send a special shout out to my buddy Brookie who is a champion just like her father was and he would be/is extremely proud of you. We love you buddy ;-)

Now you just need to relax and get a good nights sleep. Don't be too disappointed with your fall back, we are only human and when you have all that good food around at a time like that it's really difficult not to eat it.

I've had a bit of a time too these past few days. I'm ready to be back on the wagon; I don't like where that was all heading, ya know?

Sorry about your loss, glad the funeral wasn't too hard on you =(

Just dropping by to say hey! I agree with PP's comment to relax, get a good night's sleep, and just back to it!

You may have lost your routine for a while, been in an environment not conducive to eating the way you want to, but you know what? I bet you were better to yourself than you give credit, and I bet you'll be good to yourself again from now on to make it up. So you can feel proud that you have the fortitude to keep on keepin' on!!!

We all KNOW you can stick to a healthy routine, so just accept that you had a "free week" instead of a "free meal" for whatever reason and move on. :-)

To us all,
Life is a short gift we are given.
It is good for us to strive for healthy ways ,but only if we can enjoy life and take our ups and downs in eating just as we do in our life journey and adventures along the way.
When our last day on earth is here,I hope we won't spend it regretting the ice cream we ate that day.
Peace and love to us all who are sometimes so very hard on ourselves.

I don't think you need to worry, you know what a few good days under your belt does for you!!!

Maybe we should all make a pact to stay on plan until the TO trip THAT can be our treat!!

That's why this is a journey, not a destination. Sometimes you have to take a detour. I'm on a detour myself this week. Sometimes, you even learn more by taking the detour. You'll be back on the highway and cruising along in no time.

Sometimes life gets in the way of our plans.

Welcome back. That's a great attitude about this just being life and things happen, instead of beating yourself up about it. I need to remember that a lot. Looking forward to seeing your pictures.

Slip-ups happen. Try and ID the cause so you can see it coming in the future (TOM thing? Just with company means different habits? etc).

Sorry you lost somebody. that's always hard, and good eating can often take a back seat.

Ok, I need more info on this Toronto thing, I sort of feel out of the loop! Where are old posts about it?

Randi said...

RYC: HA! I don't remember denying a friend request on FB! Maybe I had no idea who you were or something. (is your name really Angie? Tell the truth!) Yes you can try again! I'm not really to sure if I could make the trip to TO or not, but more info (aka on FB) would definately be good!

Randi said...

RYC: hmm, I think you missed. Instead I just friended you. (thank goodness your picture is the same there as here!)

Kyle and Darci said...

Glad to hear you're back and that everything went well!

Carolyn said...

I hear ya. I agree about the slipping though... I think I just need a REBOOT, and a bit of support.
Planning is what I need to do... maybe it'll help you too?
you look great in your newer pics, BTW!!!

Miss reading your blog.I actually wouldn't even care if you wrote about nonfood things,'cause I think you have a flare for writing!
I certainly wouldn't want to blog meals 365 days a year...sometimes real life has to take precedence over the"computer life",whether for serious stuff ot just a mental break.
Will look forward to future posts when ya feel like it!

You know what to do....and you'll do it, regardless if it's on your blog or not...enjoy the journey Angie, you know you can.
