It's all going to be about maintenance this weekend

Last night I won my battle over the candy at CVS (I still haven't purchased Halloween candy because I don't want it in the house).  WELL TODAY, I picked my son up at preschool,  and I kid you not, he emerged from his classroom holding a "goody bag" the size of a pillow case, a very full pillow case.

Now let me set the scene for all of you, I'm still overtired and overwhelmed  from this past week, I totally lost it when my son's preschool teacher asked how I was doing (let the floodgates open) when I dropped him off at preschool, and I'm due to get my "monthly friend" any moment now.  Good Lord!  I said I would fight fat, but I never said I would attempt the impossible!  I had all I could do not to grab the bag out of my son's hands, shove him out of the way, and run for the hills with his bag of sweet sweet goodness!  Thankfully I was able to restrain myself from doing that, or it may have been the cops who were restraining me!  However, once at home I did end up having a kit kat, a milkyway and tiny bag of m&ms.

This isn't exactly the way I hoped I would handle Halloween time, but then again, the world is not perfect and neither am I.  I'll get to the gym tonight, with my pulled butt muscle, and try to work off some of the candy.  Other than that I'm going to try and make smart eating choices for the rest of the day, and drink lots of water.  What I'm not going to do is adopt the attitude I've had so many other times that goes something like, "Well since I've already blown it today, I might as well keep going with the binge."  What's done is done, and I'm not going to make it any worse.
