Had a mixed week. Just a long week with the kids, Mrs. O off the rails due to that stress, and I went down in flames with her. A few perfect days to start the week, but then trailed off. (It’s the same story as usual — started to drink some, then started to drink more, then ate garbage and stopped tracking). I’m basically static with where I was, and really need to make some headway this coming week. Though I did get a row in this week, first time in a while. Would like to make that a more regular thing. And to a comment @bostonfred made for me in his thread, which stuck with me, if you’re gonna #### up a bunch, that’s fine, but then you’re most important skill will be learning how to get back on track after you #### up. It’s a good point. And that’s what today is about for me.
Related, I came across a concept on a blog yesterday that resonated with me. It basically is eating for nourishment rather than deprivation. The concept is rather than thinking about eating as a restrictive diet in which you’re depriving yourself of something, reframe and think about it as eating to nourish your body. When you think about it that way, the powdered donut, delicious as it may be, just feels like a much worse choice than a banana or bowl of oatmeal.
I couldn’t find the exact quote that I came across yesterday on social media, but found this in a Google search this morning, which is the same concept:

Anyway, just found it somewhat interesting, thought I’d share.
Folks, as a reminder, it’s now March. We’re now closer to Summer than we are to the past holiday season. Let’s get this going. I don’t know about you, but I’d like to feel good and fit this summer. LET’S GO
