I got off track. Now what?
Soooooooo often I hear from those starting a program, "I missed my workout 3 days ago and I just haven't been able to get back into it, so I guess this just doesn't work for me."
Or.... "I got sick and couldn't workout for a couple days, so I guess I'm done."
Or.... "I went to a party and ate 3 slices of pizza and a piece of cake and 12 cookies, so I guess this isn't working for me."
Or any other version of the "I've fallen off the wagon" story.
This is life, people!
We aren't perfect! Nobody is! I know....this may be news to some of you, but you WILL have days when you feel like a slug and just want to eat chips or cookies or ice cream...or all three!
So what??
That doesn't mean you can't complete a program. You jump back in. You remind yourself why you wanted to do it in the first place. You get support. You try again.
Don't throw in the towel just because you had a bad day....or even a bad week...or even a bad 10 years! We can't change past choices, but we can ALWAYS decide on what to do NOW.
Need help? Let me know.
