I put so much mental energy into surviving a Monday that I forget about Tuesday. A lot of times, Tuesday can be the harder of the two days. I awoke this morning and checked my Facebook. I had not heard from someone I wanted to hear from...strike #1. I had eaten way below my calorie requirement yesterday and had done 40 minutes on the treadmill, so I got on the scale...it had gone up 1/2 a pound...strike #2. I started thinking about a theater event I have to attend this evening which I do not want to attend...strike #3. Okay, so now how do I get out of this mental funk?
Number one...a friendship can't be forced or manipulated. Give things time and stop checking out every nuance. Stop trying to figure it all out. Number two...stay away from the scale for awhile. Go with the truth and not the emotion. You did what you should do as far as food and exercise...let the body and your biology shake things out for a few days...do not be a slave to the scale. Number three...attend the theater event with joy and be thankful for the gift of the arts that you have received. The relationship with your theater partner need not continue, but appreciate what you have and stop complaining.
This a day for your Mother's mantra..."don't think, just move". Thanks Mom!
