My new motto......and this past week is prime example of what I mean by that....
Had one day this week I went across the street to the Y at lunch for some cardio....realized I forgot my shoes at home....right where I left them from my early AM workout....
Had a "schedule change" in morning ritual as hubby had to take care of his mom overnight on a different day than usual....so I forgot to set my alarm for the morning I don't usually get to hit the gym.
This morning.....alarm didn't go off on phone at 3:55 either....what the heck...I set it last night? Ummmm yeah but forgot to plug in phone overnight to charge...and the battery died overnight
SHAKE IT OFF!!!! Yup that's right....laugh and move on. The old me would have said well, screw this week, messed it up, might as well go eat (something not so healthy)....I will start over next week.
Nope, no more. Now I take a setback, own it, move on and back on track right then and there. Way tooooo easy to come up with excuses to "let it roll" till next week.....more rewarding to own it and move on.....
Besides I still lost a pound this week from no sodas the last three days and healthy choices I made.....so it's not an "all or nothing" deal....every new smart choice has an effect.
Weekend on the horizon!! Easy time to slack off and say ah heck, can start over on Monday....uh NO MORE!!!! Determined to stay focused over the weekend, stay busy and no mindless eating out of boredom. Make your weekend count too!!!! :)
Hell yeah! We're all gonna have setbacks and that's okay! Just learn from them and make the next day a new day! Have a great weekend!!
