Making Progress Despite

Well, there always seems to be obstacles in our way. We all have them. Different things that throw us curve balls that could easily be excuses for taking a detour on our journey.
Sick kids, work, family problems, unexpected bills…. the list could go on and on and on.
Mine just include a sick daughter, crazy schedule, and the whole house still on the market. But despite it all I have had a good week. Tracking. Drinking my water. Eating well despite the Halloween candy calling my name. The only major thing that has be compromised is my gym time. A sick child really throws a wrench in things.
Last night I made a family favorite that Megan discovered she loved. Beef Stroganoff. It was nice to have a family favorite that brings back good memories. I find that I tend to make this only in the fall and winter. Just a good comfort food that everyone loves.
On a totally unrelated note that brought me a laugh: Last night I was working on getting Megan to bed. She suddenly said that she was hungry. Hmm. Not sure why but ok. I asked her what she wanted to eat after giving her three choices. She blurted out “Buffalo”. Buffalo??? Chris is the only one that has ever ate buffalo and that was on his trip to Colorado this summer. I know that it is an extremely lean meat. But I didn’t have any buffalo meat in the refrigerator. She was insistent on having buffalo. We finally distracted her and she gave up on her buffalo quest.
I hope you have a great weekend. Stay away from the Halloween candy. If you have a little, make sure you are honest with yourself and how much you are eating.
