I’ve Learned something this week. Something that I think is rather important to anyone for anything really.

Back story, over the past week (7 days) I missed 5 days of working out. I slipped into a bit of a funk. I just went into a state of f*ck it.

So what did I learn?

It’s okay to Fail. It’s okay to slip up and eat like shit for a few days. I did. I did gain two pounds over the course of those five days. That first day back was utter hell. Everything hurt. My lungs burned. It was like I was still in the first few weeks of starting out.

But it’s okay to fail. It’s okay to not be up to it everyday.

I learned that. Doing this, this journey, like any other, is hard. It’s not just changing a few things. It’s a life style change.

Take last night for me for instance. I got a new job (YAY!) so to celebrate we got Applebees. (YUM!) So while I wanted to get the Parmesan and shrimp covered steak with garlic mashed potatoes and veggies….I got the grilled chicken, fire grilled veggies, and steamed broccoli. (Let me tell you what I think of cooked broccoli.)

Sometimes you just fail. Maybe not permanently. Maybe only for a day or two. And that’s okay.

Today…I ate two donuts. Even though I’m going to the gym I’m still in a funk. I just have this general feeling of meh going on. And that’s okay.

What’s important? Making sure you get back on track. I am slowly. I just feel meh. I blame the weather. Shitty weather always makes me feel shitty.

What do you do to get back on track? What do you do when you miss those days at the gym? Or you eat like shit?
