Perfection is overrated

I am really terrible about starting something and then giving up when it doesn't go "perfectly".  For example, in the past, I might have gone right along with Weight Watcher's plan perfectly for a week or two, only to give up, or not give it my full effort, when I had a slip-up.

With our traveling this past weekend, my husband's birthday yesterday, and our lack of time to go to the grocery store this week- I could come up with all kinds of excuses to jump completely off the wagon.  I have eaten perfectly clean the last week?  No.  Did I enjoy myself last night at the Outback and eat some bloomin' onion and cookie cake and bread?  Heck yes.  Does that mean I should just throw in the towel?  No.  It means I should just keep going.

These are the time when my inner Negative Nancy pops up and says I can't do it.  These are the times she says I am never going to be thin, or it is going to take too long, or I don't deserve it or blah, blah, blah.  These are the times when I just have to tell her to shut the shell up and keep going.

I haven't had the time to take my weekly trip to Sprout's this week, and I don't anticipate having time until this weekend.  So this is how I am handling it:

Yesterday for breakfast, I had a lone hard-boiled egg left in the fridge from last week, a yellow mango that hadn't gone too ripe yet, and my ground flax and water.  For lunch, I ran to the store and grabbed a few things.  I had a locally made avocado salad roll with sweet chili sauce.  I also had some sugar snap peas with guacamole salsa.  As stated above, we had dinner out.

Today's breakfast consisted of a banana and a package of Justin's Chocoalte Almond Butter I swiped from my Mom's house.  I also had my ground flax and water.  For lunch, I brought some spinach, a serving of black beans, a cucumber, the rest of my sugar snap peas and the guacamole salsa.  I plan on making some kind of salad out of it.  I plan on making turkey tacos tonight, and I will be sharing that recipe tomorrow.  I will probably also make a trip to the store so that I can make it through the rest of the week as cleanly as possible.
