"Burger joint" aroma!

Okay, can you imagine!
I have been home all day with my family just relaxing enjoying my Saturday watching TV and lounging in my PJs.

"Making great choices on what I put in my mouth"

My kids had an event at church, I elected to stay home did a little blogging and got some well needed work done.

Just as I finished, I heard my family enter the front door.

All of a sudden, I had this aroma go through my home.

I honestly thought I was imagining it.

As soon as I hit the bottom stair, I look across my dining room entry and I see my entire family surrounding the kitchen table with bags from a
"burger joint"
~No joke!~

I turned around immediately and headed back up the stairs, about half way up I turned back down and headed directly to the table
again.

The thought came across my mind ~maybe I'll just try one french fry~

The rational side of me.
I call him "Skinny Vinny" started speaking very quickly in my head.


So I listened, went back upstairs put my walking gear on and headed out for a 2 mile walk.

Texted my walking partner and I shared with her what was going on!

She immediately reinforced the need for me to walk away from the situation and she joined me for my nightly walk...

Thank you!

I also text my "buddy" and he made a very simple statement...

 "Don't hate, congratulate!!
 (They can eat it and not gain wait!)

I quickly realized it's not their fault and there is no need to hold my entire family hostage.

I could have easily joined them and gave in, "but" not this time.

 Once again, I find myself more motivated than I have ever been before.

 I need to listen to
"Skinny Vinny" more often!


~Much more to come~ V
