A day an half ago was my official start date to my 21 day challenge. Slight problem was Sunday was the day I was going to spend all day meal planning, grocery shopping and food prepping and as it always seems to something came up. So NONE of this happened. I was so frustrated and refused to think that delaying the start of this diet was an option because it is what I always do, put it off and then never start. So gosh darn it, I started my diet anyways!!
I got thru day one ok, and went grocery shopping and but wasn't able to get to one of the stores I needed just because it was getting to late. I figured I had the next day off and I would go right to the grocery store after I dropped my oldest off at school. Well like before things came up. One thing after another until we never made it to the grocery store at all today and I made it thru breakfast and lunch was a bit of a stretch and by dinner diet was done. I had entered the quitting zone. Normally when this happens I will start to make plans to start again next Monday or maybe now after I finish my antibiotics I am on since they are reeking havoc on my gut right now. But this time I am going with my favorite quote from Anne of Green Gables; "Tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it." I am still reading the 5 habits of a woman who doesn't quit and today when I reached the quitting zone I did start thinking about what I've read so far. The hardest thing for me is and has always been not just giving up, planning on starting at another time and spiraling down into depression that I failed yet again. I am trying my hardest to remember that a few off days will not ruin the whole goal. It may delay it but it won't stop my from reaching it as long as I get right back up.
