Stick To The Plan No Matter What!

Eating right, working out, getting fit and reaching your fitness goals is not a simple task. It takes hard work, dedication, sacrifice, and consistency to reach whatever goals you have set forth. The holidays makes the challenge that much more difficult and many times co-workers, friends, and family don't help either. Since they are not on the same page as you or because they are "content" with their weight or just don't care about being fit, they attempt to encourage you to "just have one." Well, that one can, and many times does, lead to another and then another. Before you know it, you have consumed 1000 calories of something you didn't want to eat and you have put your workout behind the 8-ball. That's if you still decide to workout. I know I have been guilty of falling off track with my eating and then just said "screw working out for today!" I might have even gotten right back on track but there is always that regret lurking. That does not mean we should not plan or enjoy a cheat meal from time to time. It just means that if we have a plan, stick to that plan no matter what! No one is going to protect or value that plan or the goals you have in mind more than you! If your plan includes 2 days of eating whatever, that's great but don't make it 3 days. Stay focused, stay strong, sacrifice what's bad for you, and hold on to what you know you want. You can do it! Trust me, if I can ANYBODY can. No, seriously. If you guys only knew how many years it took me to get it together and say enough is enough. So, give you plan a chance and don't self sabotage. Let all that has kept you from getting closer to your goals go and get to WORK!!! I'm here if you need me. ;-)
