Getting mentally and physically set up for success to begin again to work on regaining my health and losing weight, the baking of homemade shortbread was not a part of the equation, but it is one of the things I did yesterday.
My plan was to divide it almost in half, leaving only a couple pieces for myself to savor. One half was going to my hairdresser as a birthday treat(which it did, and I was going to take the other half to the office where I volunteer. When I learned that hardly anyone was going to be in the office, I left it at home. And, you guessed it, by noon today I had consumed it all. Okay, I got that out of my system now.
It's a beautiful day here in SC, but I'm still home and in my nightgown at 4:30 in the afternoon. It's not that I've been lounging around. I've been productive. But it's not how I planned to spend the day.
In my defense, I did things that needed to be done and have been thinking about and setting myself up so that when I do go out to run errands, I don't do it haphazardly. I have errands in at least three different directions and, thankfully, I only need to in one direction (and back) today. The rest will be well-organized and can be divided up between tomorrow and Friday.
