Another thing no one ever tells you about fitness? Setbacks are NORMAL!
Mis-steps are part of the process and it’s unrealistic to expect you’ll be perfect. No one is! I miss workouts, have days when my eating habits leave something to be desired, and have to take long breaks occasionally due to illness or injury. It happens. Setbacks are NOT signs that you’re weak, you’ve failed OR that you’ll never ‘get there’. They’re just signs you’re human!
Everyone misses their workouts at some point, life gets crazy, and sometimes you’ll make bad decisions for a day, two days, or even weeks on end. The important thing is to know that it happens to EVERYONE. Don’t beat yourself up. Minimize damage if you can, get back on track a.s.a.p, and simply do your best. Sometimes, a teeny fall off the wagon makes you a better wagoneer!
A bad day or two WILL NOT negate all your progress, unless you let it!
Using this as personal motivation to get my huge ass back to the gym before the Bahamas.
