Come Monday

     What do we do when we "fall off the wagon"?  Just like falling off the horse, you get back up!!!  We so often tell ourselves when we have an unhealthy eating day just to "blow it"  and eat whatever we want.  I have even been guilty of telling myself "I blew it (it is Friday) I'll just start over on Monday."  We always want to wait for Monday.  Jimmy Buffet had it right!  Come Monday it will be all right.  But why wait?  Get back on that horse NOW!!!
     Everyone will have an off moment now and again.  The trick is to stop and start eating healthy from that moment on.  Why am I writing about this?  I had a "weekend moment" at the beach.  My moment was caused by lack of preperation.  I was starving (fishing on the boat) and had not packed healthy available snacks.  My mistake.  I heard someone talking about preparing for the craving (I would love to give them credit but I do not remember who it was).  Preparing in advance for the craving.  If you are a 3:00 snacker, have the snack ready and waiting when the children get home.  This can help to prevent a "food meltdown".
     We can begin to plan for those moments of emergency snacking.  Prepare today for your craving.  This will save you from "falling off the horse".  If you fall?  STOP and get back on the horse.  No one is perfect!  Wishing all of you a terrific Wednesday!
