MM: Earned a 4 out 7 and Struggles

This past week I earned a 4 out of 7. On the bright side I was able to double my success from the week before. Hopefully this week I will do even better. I did a lot of things right last week. I drank a ton of green smoothies and even increased my spinach intake from 1 to 2 cups in each smoothie. This week I am thinking about trying out Kale for a 1 cup Spinach and 1 cup Kale in my smoothie. I also got in some good walks, even some evening walks. Over the weekend I had a hard time. This is my first Mother's Day without my mother or my grandmother. I also attended a funeral for someone who had just lost their mother and the pain was very real and raw for me. I tried to keep it together but by Sunday I was in total sloth mode and I ate very poorly. I am thankful that I get to start over fresh this week. This week has it's own challenges since, I have to work on Friday Night and Saturday morning for a truly busy week at work. I am going to try to stay on chill mode and just get through this week on faith and taking it One Day At A Time.

I have also begun to see a pattern with myself. When I have struggles I am tempted to over correct and punish myself by adopting a strict plan. I also notice that when I am doing well I want to ride the wave of success and become distracted and try to make my plan more strict. This week I am going to try to stay in the middle and just follow my plan allowing myself my Sacred Snacks whether I have a good day or a bad day.
