4th of July

I know I haven’t updated since last week, but I wanted to make sure I wrote about my holiday weekend.  So, let me start by saying I was very successful last week.  I stuck to eating healthy and I did an hour of exercise every night.  I felt great and very motivated.  With this being said, I knew that the 4^th of July holiday was coming up; which, for me, meant an excessive amount of eating and drinking.  I tried my best to keep my goal in mind and try to create a plan to ensure that I stayed on track, even though it was a holiday weekend.  So, how did I do?

Well, let’s just say, I failed miserably! I have learned that I must be honest with myself and others if I intend on being successful during this journey.  I ate and ate and ate this weekend and did not feel bad about it.  I was still able to meet my goal of exercising 5 days per week, but my diet was the problem.  But, I admitted that I overate and now I am moving forward and continuing to work on the goal. 

I have learned that there will be many ups and downs on this journey, but the most important thing I can do is to continue to push forward.  Regardless of how many days I may mess up, I know that I have a goal in mind and that is to become the healthiest I have ever been in my life.  I will not let minor setbacks get in the way of me reaching my fitness goals.  I vowed to have a healthier lifestyle and I will do whatever it takes to ensure that goal is met.

So, if you mess up at anytime during this journey, please remember to pick yourself up by the bootstraps and keep pressing forward!

Have a healthy and fulfilling day!
