Monday's lunch was supposed to be the leftover tostada taco with a Caesar on the side, already decided and sitting in my fridge at home. Which is exactly where it stayed, because I walked out the door without it. So by lunchtime I was at school with no tacos and no backup, and I ordered Chick-fil-A nuggets.
On Monday I told you this was the week I was going to follow my plan as close to a T as I possibly could, so I'll be honest, it was a little funny that the very first school day of it went off the card by lunch. But I also told you what I'd do if that happened, which was nothing dramatic. No punishment day, no starting over next Monday, just the next card.
Tuesday went right back on the card
And on Tuesday, I followed it, brat night and all. Then this morning I stepped on the scale and saw 187, and I'm really, really hoping to see 186 before this week is over.
One meal off the card isn't the week off the plan.
This is the part I think matters most if you're trying to stay with something. Forgetting your lunch isn't a willpower problem, and it isn't a sign the plan doesn't work. It's just a Monday. The plan only breaks when you decide one off meal means the whole day is gone, and then the whole week is gone, and then you'll just start again next Monday. The fastest way back on the plan is the very next meal, not the next Monday.

Tuesday, on the card. What a completely normal day on the plan actually looked like.
The 187, and the 186 I'm hoping for, with Halloween and weigh-in day both still ahead.
Today's plan, which is shot day, soccer, and pizza night all at once.

Nobody in here expects a perfect week. We just want to see you come back after the off meal.
Every Wednesday we check in on the focus we picked on Monday, and the whole week works like that: a weigh-in on Sunday, a focus on Monday, this check in, wins on Friday, and a chat where you can say "I forgot my lunch" and nobody makes it a thing. November's No Disappearing Challenge is almost here too, and it's all about showing up every day, including the off ones. If you're new, here are a few posts worth reading:
Go yearly and Picky Girl HQ and the Hub both come with it, waiting in your perks the minute you join.
