Hope everybody had a good Easter and were able to enjoy the good food and wonderful treats. The key to any morning after a big holiday weekend is to forgive yourself for your indulgence. It is ok to treat yourself and to some traditional fun and food. So ladies it is early in the month, and there is plenty of time to make up for the extra calories we consumed. But remember that you cannot make up those precious moments with your family. No since beating yourself up over what you already enjoyed. It is ok.
Our family had a huge Easter egg hunt with our grandchildren this weekend. They were very excited to find dozens of fun-filled eggs that the Easter bunny had hidden. Once they all went home, I looked up and realized that I hadn't gotten even one robin egg or sour patch bunny. But on Easter morning we did discover that the Easter Bunny had found it in his heart to leave a few treats for DH and I on the diningroom. We both had our way with the basket of goodies. DH made a beautiful ham dinner which was also wonderful and we had a beautiful strawberry shortcake desert.
But it is Monday now and time for me to forgive myself for all of those wonderful treats that I consumed and get right back to normal as quick as I can. I also missed a couple of my normal workouts, but I have decided that running around the yard hiding those eggs and then running around the yard helping those little ones find them will be considered a substitute workout.
Hope you are all able to jump right back in and continue on your getting healthy and weight loss journey.
