I planned very well for my eating today, taking water and other drinks, as well as some food in case I was limited in available choices.  I knew we would be at the Holiday Inn all day, meeting, and I'm not a huge fan of their food.  That all went well and we ended up being able to eat outside at a place that's close by, where I had a very nice lunch.

Our meeting even went very well, we got a lot accomplished with very little confrontation.

However, on my way to the hotel this morning, I rear ended a truck with a big trailer hitch on the back, smashing the front end of my car.  I'm dropping it off later today to be fixed and there was no damage to the truck, so no charges or anything, but I'm quite upset about it.  I have always prided myself about being a good driver, but in the last few years I have had several minor accidents.  I can deal with the repair, especially if I don't need to go through insurance, but I am having a hard time accepting that my driving has deteriorated.  I was distracted by a large table on someones lawn, and the truck stopped 30 feet before the stop sign, as he was doing some work at one of the houses there.  I still need to drive and I can't keep having accidents, or I will be forced to stop.  OK, I'm rambling so I'm gonna stop for now.

Wy weigh in at the y this morning was 272, with 3 more to go to reach my Sept goal.

Honestly, instead of being hard on myself, I'm going to try to realistically determine how I can improve my driving, while being loving and gentle with myself. elly
