This made me giggle. However, how many of you have fallen into the "eating healthy and working out hard on Monday & Tuesday, then find yourself cheating a bit on Wednesday and by the end of the week...what...we are not seeing results?" C'mon, I'm guilty. Are you? I think we have all been there. It happens. However, just be honest with yourself. This new healthy relationship you are creating with yourself deserves honesty.
It's the third week in January and I knew this week was not going to show a huge chang on the scale. I worked out (hard) I ate some really healthy meals and I ate some okay meals. (not to mention it's shark week, here...sorry if it's tmi) So getting on the scale I knew it was not going to show huge results...even a little result would have been good, but instead it was +1lb. Surprised? Not really, it happens.
Do not beat yourself up when this happens and do not act all surprised either, because you know when you start your week out great, it is awesome, but the great start will not carry you through the rest of the week, if we just cheat a bit here and a bit there...it all adds up in the end when we are searching for those results. Don't sabatoge your hard work. Health & fitness can be simple, but it's not easy. Stay focused and be careful, most of the time we are our own worst enemy. I highly recommend you find yourself a great accountability partner or even a fabulous online group of people to help you stay accountable and on track.
Just a little food for thought! Keep going! Even with little set backs DO NOT GIVE UP. You are worth the work, you are worth the results, you are worth the sweaty workout clothes, you are worth the delicious healthy food, you are worth the early morning wake ups, YOU ARE JUST PLAIN WORTH IT!
~Go kick some butt this week!
