a moment to refocusonlife


Happy Sunny (now) Monday!

I hope that each of you had a wonderful weekend!
Something I’ve heard several times in the course of my journey is, “resistance equals rebellion”. I couldn’t tell from whom I heard that wonderful quote, but I’ve kind of made it a mantra of my life!
The Cookie Monster! 
Friday night, Mark and I had decided to walk to get some Frozen Yogurt. I, of course, was going to grab a “no sugar added” variety and top it with fresh fruit…but after getting somewhat lost and dealing with an iPhone that wasn’t showing us the way, we decided to return to our hotel. Still having a sweet tooth, we decided to stop in the hotel restaurant for a dessert. After all, we had ordered one dinner and split it between the two of us (we saved money and calories baby!) Normally, I would shy away from a sugar-laden cookie and ice cream topped with chocolate and whipped cream especially given it was 10:30pm at night! But, we decided that to resist was futile. We both wanted it, so we split it between us. It hit the spot. And, by having a little bit of something like that on occasion, we aren’t depriving ourselves of anything. “Resistance equals rebellion”…in the long run, trying to always avoid things like a cookie dessert isn’t sustainable. So, have a little, don’t deprive yourself, and you’ll be a lot more successful!

Have a great week! Remember, refocusonlife, slow down, and enjoy the little things
