January is here. And for anybody who knows me, you know that where I work, January is very busy. I tend to work through my lunch, and forget to take any sort of break, simply because I'm trying to stay caught up and ahead.
I packed a cooler today, but I didn't pack a second snack for my mid afternoon lunch. I thought I has something in the fridge at work that I could eat, so I didn't think it was necessary. Well, without getting all in to it, I didn't take the time to have my mid afternoon snack. So I had lunch at 1:30, and I was supposed to have another snack between 4:30 and 5. It didn't happen. I worked late, left the office at 6:20, rushed out the door to make it to Zumba at 6:30. Busted a move at Zumba, and left.
When I left at 7:30, I thought I was going to eat my arm off. I wasn't at work anymore, so I couldn't go to the fridge for that extra snack, and of course, I didn't have anything else packed in my cooler. Home was 12 miles away, and honestly, I thought I was going to go crazy if I waited until home to eat. So.... dun dun dun.. I went to a drive through. Not a big chain fast food joint, but a drive thru that definitely was not clean. I KNEW exactly what I was doing when I did it, but I was so hungry, I didn't even care.
Yes folks, I am human. This is hard. Nothing worth doing is easy. I never said I was perfect. But I'm not giving up. I'm trying to live by the 80/20 rule. Eat what I'm supposed to at least 80% of the time, and not beat myself up if I screw up the other 20%. This evening was one of those 20% situations.
Fall down, but get back up again. I'm not going to let this deter me. I'll be better tomorrow, and that's really the best that I can strive for.
