Everyone falls off..

  To say the least, I have not been practicing what I preach. The last couple weeks I have not put any time into the gym and my eating habits have not been on track as well. I can sit here and list an long list of excuses but its nothing more then excuses. One reason besides the craziness of summer parties is my kids have been sick! I cant seem to shake it from them even with antibiotics, like I said the parties is an excuse. It is nothing but the truth to say that everyone does fall off their routines but its if you get back to your routines is what matters.

  To test a person true strength is how hard you fall and then get back up or stay down, how bad do you want it. Now this topic can go so many different ways but I am talking just about fitness and nutrition. I know with summer here and all the parties temptation is all around. Hot days to lay out, go to the pool, bbqs, sweets, pizzas, fast and easy foods will be at every corner how do you react? Do you give in because its summer? Do you go with the flow and everyone else is? Do you hold your ground? We all fall to it!! However, we can all set a goal to do it one day, can be the same day every week, or choose a different day of the week to have one cheat meal, not cheat day just a meal, or treat yourself by skipping a hard workout one day. Delicious food doesn't mean that it has to be loaded with fats, sugars, ect. Healthy and nutritious foods can taste just the same. Like I said before its how bad you want to achieve your goals. Living a fit and healthy life takes work and doesn't just come over night!

  Today I started right back on my routines! Supplements, eating habits, and fitness. I didn't wait until next Monday, I hear that alot," Ill start on Monday". No start now!! I still dont feel 100% but I did a work out that pushed me just enough to feel like I did something, tomorrow Ill push a little more, until I feel back 100%! Ive been sick for about a week and I know how my body handles things, never just jump right into it, take your time! Just remember you are not the only person who falls, just remember to get right back up!!!!
