Good Morning
I have been in this scenario more times that I would like to admit, I think we all feel this way at some point...
It’s
late. You’ve just had a hell of a day juggling your job, kids,
expectations and never really being able to step away from your in-box
because you have a smart-phone. You finally make it home after a
90-minute commute that’s really only 25 minutes without traffic, open
your fridge to a plethora of healthy green food choices and think:
“Screw it.”
Then you order a pizza.
Here
is some advice on how to recover and not to beat yourself up about a
simple slip. Enjoy that pizza, then throw out the leftovers and move on,
a few pieces of pizza are not going to ruin your lifetime plan for
health and fitness, but don't let the slip become a habit!
Having
a fallback plan for the weekends, when it is tougher to stick to your
eating plan may be helpful. Do at least one ONE THING, eat vegetables,
drink water between adult beverages or do some push ups. Any healthy
choice is still moving forward.
Don't get so fixated on the outcome, but rather focus on the process,
research shows that focusing on the process leads to a better outcome.
When you get discouraged, think back to what you have learned, what has gotten easier and what you are doing well.
Remind
yourself that there will be plateaus, people who are successful at
loosing weight and keeping it off, are the ones who push through the
tough times and the hard workouts.
