Day 26 - Confessions: It's a Learning Curve

I failed last week. That's right. F.a.i.l.e.d. I missed my exercise goal for the first time (by two!), and like a domino, I ate whatever the last two days of the week. I'm not tore up about it. I'm not going to cry about it. Geeezzzz....

Why's that? Because I learned, that's why! (I read in a book somewhere that it's best to see failure as a chance to do better next time and that perfection was kind of a disease and since this all works conveniently well with my experiential experience right now I'm going to go ahead and run with it...).

First, I need to force consistency with my time i.e. getting up at the same time every day (not my strong suit...sleeping till noon is not uncommon). Secondly, need more food readily available. Solution: purchase more at farmer's market this week. Thirdly, exercise-wise: plan ahead for oddities like vacays and holidays...

O.k. All fessed up.

Sometimes I love Dave so much I want to eat my arm. Like the other day in the grocery store, he was intently searching for something in the deli aisle. Suddenly he murmured, "I'm looking for summer sausage...I can't find one I want..."

Then he turned to me with his eyes wide, he pointed into the freezer at the labels and said so seriously, "I want it to be just all-beef. Why are all of them beef AND turkey? WHY would I even want a combo meat? What's wrong with just one or the other?!"

He was so genuinely flabbergasted. I don't know, but the look of conviction on his face as he stood there looking at me (he really wanted an answer), it just made me giggle and warm to the core. I agreed and love-him-so for being so upset about it. I mean, he IS right for pete's sake.
