Ditching your fitness resolution because you miss some daily goals is like...

Come help me finish my list...
(and maybe have a giggle or two...)

1) Slashing the other three tires when you get a flat...
2) Throwing away the rest of the eggs in a carton because you crack one
3) Taking a flame thrower to the rest of the dinner because you burnt a side dish
4) Hosing the rest of your closet because you spilled water on your shirt...

Anyone else want to play?

Bottom line? Keep on swinging folks!!

I think that's only reasonable . How big was the cookie?

Well my choice would be as big as the head banging on the wall!

I do this with bags of chips, peanuts or mixed nuts. I have to buy individual servings. Haha.

Yeah well. There was a reason I came up with the cookie example so easily.
Been there. Done that. Told myself it was stupid.


Ditching your fitness resolution because you miss some daily goals is like...

Buying a brand new house because your dishwasher broke.

Buying a new car because you had a flat tire.

Ending a friendship because she ate your cookies

It’s like knocking all your teeth out because you fell asleep one night without getting them brushed.
