Happy May Day!
Well, sometimes even planning for success doesn't work for me. Yesterday my plan was to make a healthy dinner for myself before our guests arrived for the hot dog cookout. We had a surprise visit from DS#6's family in the afternoon and there was a lot to do to keep things picked up and ready for our guests with the extra 6 people and 2 big dogs around. I never took the time to make a separate dinner for myself.
I've been thinking about "balance" and how it relates to my healthstyle. I tend to be an "all-or-nothing" type of dieter. I'm either extremely motivated and strict, or I go off the diet and I'm basically out of control eating anything in whatever quantity feels good at the moment (and usually with an unhealthy spirit of rebellion). I know a lot of people schedule in a cheat day. That doesn't work for me. It is too difficult to detox from sugar. I'd be in a sugar/sugar detox cycle all the time. Instead, I'm trying to accept there will be days like yesterday when my best plans fall through and I eat off-plan. This is real life, and if this is truly a "healthstyle" (healthy habits for a lifetime), I need to remember life cannot be strict all the time. But the balance comes in when I also realize I cannot have a healthy life if I eat junk and don't use restraint.
