I'm weird. I love Mondays.
Mondays are a chance for re-birth. It's "do-over" day. How often do we get a do-over?
If we slipped on the weekend we simply say to ourselves, "OK...this is a new day and a new week. This week is going to be a little better than last week. I am going to do it over again and do it better".
The exception, of course, is if last week was a great week, but it would still be a do-over week. It's just a different perspective. If you had a great week you still want a do-over, because you want to do it all over again. Right?
I would perfectly happy if this week ended up being the same as last week, but I would be even happier if I refined it a bit. The question becomes: If I could refine it, what would I refine?
What would I do differently if I had a "do-over?
1) I would not have had the Chocolate Bar and Potato Chips and Dip Saturday night
2) I would have made better choices at our BBQ Sunday.
I was full of good intentions at the BBQ and did make smart alcohol choices, but I didn't make the best (or the worst) food choices, and my friend Diane and I both commented that we just felt uncomfortably full when it was over.
What would I keep the same?
1) I would track at least as much as I did last week
2) I would exercise
3) I would totally have the Fish and Chips and Beer on Saturday night (or something similar).
So today is the start of a new week. It is a time for rebirth. What will you do differently this week?
