Day 274: Getting back up

The saying goes that if you fall down 7 get up  8, well, today K learned that sometimes when we fall it hurts!

I  know that saying is not talking about physically falling down, but when we try something new or attempt to achieve a goal.

Yet, the saying works for  the physical falls as well.

We are at a splash pad/park today. K climbed on a piece of water park equipment she should not have, she fell and sprained her lower arm (elbow to  wrist) pretty badly. Thankfully it is not broken (we have the x-ray to prove it), but perhaps we all (especially K) learned a valuable lesson:

If you fall down, get up, but  don't put yourself in a situation where the fall is just senseless. I consider climbing on equipment that is  obviously not meant for climbing  and then falling...senseless. :)

Now to apply that to my life - am I falling down on my weight/health goals for senseless reasons? Like eating too much food or the wrong foods even when I know better? The answer is probably yes...maybe  a resounding yes? Time to re-evaluate, recommit and to stop falling down for senseless reasons.

Happy Walking!
