Looking up at the Wagon

I have mentioned this before, but I think it is worth mentioning again. Honesty with self is the most important type of honesty. And, sometimes for me, that means accepting that I am not perfect. Accepting that on my journey to fit and fabulous, I will occasionally fall off the wagon and eat something on the no, no list.

This weekend was rough for me. I have not been feeling so hot. Between migraine issues all week which impeded my workouts, a sinus infection that has morphed into bronchitis, and now steroids, it has been a true struggle. In addition, we have had weird weather and I have been out in the field all weekend which means we ate out more than normal.  And, today, I ate the item I've been craving all week.

I wanted a BurgerFi hamburger.

I wanted a BurgerFi hamburger and I ate it.

I wanted it, I ate it, and I'm not mad about it.

Yep, let me repeat that, I'm not mad about it.

So often when we fall off the wagon, and we are looking at it from the ground, it looks daunting. So often, we wonder if we can even get back up and we give up and continue down the path of bad behaviors.  But, it doesn't have to be that way.

Instead, you can enjoy the meal, accept that it is okay. And, get right back on track. That is what I am choosing to do. We have prepped our food for the week. We have a wonderful dinner tonight of steamed broccoli, bison burgers and sweat potatoes.

So, if you fall off, get right back on. Don't beat yourself up, find your will and your commitment and keep going.
