Hi, everyone! Well, I have been thinking about what I wanted to write this month and it has taken some time to get my thoughts together. First, my weight. It has dropped a couple of pounds this month, which I am thankful for. Next, my main struggles. I read these stories about these ladies that go through this process and they don’t cheat or only cheat a couple of times. Way to go! However, I have simply not been one of those people. In the past I was beating myself up pretty good when I would mess up. I am now deciding to take a more positive approach to my flawed humanity. I am celebrating all the good decisions I make on a daily basis. I had to communicate to my coach that I had some problems this week. That old saying that you hear so often in Genesis: Fail to plan, plan to fail. Boy, was that me. I went up picking huckleberries and didn’t bring adequate food along. Because of failure to plan, I ended up eating sandwiches with my kids. My body does NOT like bread or gluten. So, for the next 2 days, my body reminded me, with pain, WHY I don’t eat that stuff any more. I texted my coach, went high for a couple of days, and got back on track. No beating myself up, eating the crap did that enough. I need to be kind to myself and give this well-oiled machine, that is also known as my body, primo fuel to burn. I will celebrate, in a small way, when I decide to have xylitol in my coffee instead of cocoa mix. That cocoa mix isn’t really that great, anyway.

Really…just how many people on Genesis are perfect?? I doubt there really are that many. Life isn’t perfect. We make progress a step at a time, sometimes forward, sometimes backward.
