One Day at a Time

I've been doing pretty well this week, despite some challenges. I successfully navigated a work day helping my brother-in-law get ready for a yard sale. Normally a change in routine precipitates a change in diet--toward the bad, usually--but I did okay yesterday, bringing food with me so as not to be waylaid by hunger.

The day before, however, I was not so successful. Friday my husband and I went to put flowers on graves at a nearby town and I was caught out without provisions at supper time when I was hungry. We ended up at McDonald's, each having a burger meal that included fries, a milk shake and a boatload of calories. Ah well. That's why I made a better plan the following day.

I deserve a sticker for yesterday (none for Friday, of course), but because I'm taking it one day at a time (in keeping with 12-step tradition), I can forget about the bad decision-making of Friday and go on with my life, resolving to make better decisions in the future.
