stumble.

Wednesday, July 25, 2012

All was well today until after my acupuncture appointment...don't know if it was the frustration over traffic, my hunger, my change in schedule which delayed my work out time, and then led to my decision to skip my work out, or what? But, I decided to go off plan.

So, I stumbled today: no work out and over calories.

But you know what - it's life! I'm not always going to be perfect. I'm not always going to stick to my plan. I'm going to stumble. And I'm going to delay my weight loss. But it's part of the journey. No harm. I will get back on the wagon and get back to it!

Healthy meals planned for tomorrow, and another hour walk with my girlfriend around the waterfront. Back to good.

And I'm happy. Because I am enjoying being me. I am enjoying existing. I am enjoying my stumbles, because I can be even more proud of myself when I pick myself up, dust my knees off, and continue on this glorious journey that is life!

So, I am picking myself up and tending to my scraped up knees...and I'm heading toward success!

Happy Wednesday!

    That's the attitude that will allow you be to successful! I don't think there's any person anywhere, no matter how successful they've been, who could tell you that they've stuck to their plan 100% of the time and have never stumbled. That's part of life and living it! The important thing is that you pick yourself up and get back on track so one bad day doesn't turn into a string of bad days. Hope today's a good one for you!

    Great attitude! Most likely it won't affect your weight loss, it was just one day. Life is so much more enjoyable when we realize getting healthy and losing weight is about progress not perfection.

Keep up the great work!

    Love your attitude! Just because you stumble doesn't mean you need to fall flat on your face!

    That's right- today is a new day. Fresh start and a chance to make good choices emoticon

As you go along you'll figure out what triggers these episodes, sometimes avoidable and others well they're a part of life emoticon It's all about figuring out what works for you and your progress emoticon
