Here's the deal (and my laundry list of excuses why this happened ;-) I like to support my niece and I like cookies, so each year we buy a few boxes of those darling little purple boxes carrying heavens love in the form of Samoa's! My Lord those things are good!! The problem is I am in the middle of getting in the absolute best shape of my life right? And they don't factor in to the equation so I have been choosing not to have them right now, the only problem is at this moment in time I didn't follow my own advice! You see, (here come the excuses) I was tired from being up all night with one of the kids, I was hungry because I was not paying attention to the clock and let too much time pass between meals, and ultimately I was simply lazy and didn't take the time to follow my own advice - Stop, Challenge, Choose. I was upset with myself but the most beautiful thing about life is that every second that passes is a chance to start FRESH!!
That's exactly what I'm doing, life is full of choices and when that was done I had a choice as to how I'd respond, and here's what I decided to do...
I stopped (the madness ;-), challenged (myself to make a better decision), and I chose not to dwell on it, but rather to learn from it and move forward in a positive light.
Life is full of ups and downs, and girl scout cookie season, so don't ever forget that each passing moment is a chance to do something better than you did before. It's not always easy but it certainly is a lot more fun than wallowing in self pity isn't it?
