Road trip this past weekend

We traveled to see my husband's youngest graduate high school. The trip was very long and we had his oldest and her two children with us. Going down was OK. And the graduation ceremony was great. I was able to get 40 minutes on the treadmill Saturday morning at the hotel. We spent all Saturday night helping my husband's ex and her husband load a 24 foot uhaul truck. So I cant count the trips up a hill to a truck while carrying boxes. I didnt get back to bed at our hotel until midnight. Coming back home was not good. I had plenty to drink and brought some snacks and food I could eat. The ride home was over 9 hours. Frequent stops so the 2 yr old could run around. She was very cranky while in the car seat. We all were tired and I found myself eating just to eat. I went off my plan for the day and felt horrible.I started eating way too many peanuts and never had my tuna. I was over tired and started to get into old habits. I almost wonder if it would have been better to stop at a restaurant(not fast food) and had something. But no one wanted to deal with a cranky child (or grandmother ) We just wanted to get home today. Now I feel icky. I think I will make myself a protein shake and finish up early and go to bed

Ah yes.... sounds like a busy stressful weekend....
But consider...

In the past would you REALLY have spent 40 minutes on the hotel treadmill?

Would really have spent 5 minutes even THINKING about using the hotel treadmill?

Girl... you did GREAT...

It was just ONE WEEKEND...

Now.... FOCUS  on that treadmill time and the fact that you were able to do all that hauling... (that's exercise too!)

Have a terrific week!

One day of unfocused eating is ONE DAY.  Tomorrow is another day and let go of yesterday.  One day is not going to kill any of us, because none of us are perfect. honey.  Keep up the good work!!   Congrats on active day Saturday. 

Thanks Guys,

     I tend to get the all or nothing mentality instead of focusing on the little accomplishments along the way. You're right JEllen I would not have worked out a year ago at the hotel. And Molly you are also right it is only one day. Thank you for helping me put things into perspective. I cant believe the energy I had to help load the uhaul truck. I have come a long way
