Let's get real now. For most of December and January I slacked off. Like BIG time. Gained ~17 pounds back that I had worked so hard to lose. Now, I know what some people will say, "don't be so hard on yourself, you can get back to where you were". I know I can, I know that I WILL! I'm not gonna sit here and make excuses, I just flat out didn't put and effort into my exercising and eating. This is not something that I am proud of but I am going to own it. I am human, I make mistakes and probably will make more in the future. You are too and that is perfectly fine. Don't sweat it, unless you actually plan on sweating for real in the gym or wherever you workout.
This past week I did a whole lot better on my workouts and eating. Not 100% better, but better nonetheless. Small steps of progression is STILL progression. I think that people tend to forget that a lot during the process. In today's society, people expect to see change overnight. It's not going to happen, so just stick with it and trust the process.
I write all of this to say, no matter how many set backs, no matter how many people say you can't, no matter how hard it may seem or how much further you have to go, just keep pushing! A little phrase I like to tell myself each day is "Stay strong, stay focused & stay positive"! Positive being the most important part of that phrase. It's too easy to be negative, but being positive feels so much better! So no matter how much further you still have to go, no matter how many people say you can't do it, no matter what, just keep pushing! Until next time, stay blessed!
