Victory !

I went to WI this morning with an absolutely terrified frame of mind,
thinking that after all that good work of loosing two lbs last week I had to
go and screw it up this week with a mix of poor planning and hurting my back
(ouch.. snif) so anyway.. after arguing with myself (out loud) in front of
the mirror this morning about do I WI or not I decided to do it.

I can't only WI on my good weeks.. Soooooooooooo I did WI and I did gain.
BUT, Oh Victory! I gained 0.4lbs instead of the expected 3-4 lbs...

HA ! I messed up this week, and I know where and how BUT I'm still feeling
so much more in control now than I have all winter.. I don't feel like I
have to be perfect.. I don't feel like I need to work out 2 hours a day..
I'm just plain enjoying myself (or will once I can move my back again) It's
funny how just permitting yourself to live changes the whole perspective you
have on everything!

I'm off for a 2 weeks and half vacation back home... *shivers* now THAT"s
scary.. but I'm gonna be good !

better the next week.

) Going home is always a mixed thing for me. Of course I'll enjoy seeing
my people and sailing and fishing and everything... but I also have to go
nose to nose with my past again.. long story short I'm not looking forward
to that last part of it..

Oh heck.. lobster season just finished, there'll still be plenty left...
*grin* and fresh mussels, gathered right out of the water by me myself and I
about 20 minutes before I cook them..

mmmmmmmmmmmmmm the Mags...

Eh, heading home? Enjoy. Now don't forget all you have learned while
AWAY (no, I don't mean English).

Congrats on the minor, as opposed to major gain.

Knowing where you messed up and not panicking because you gained a little is
a victory indeed! Enjoy your holidays,
