You’ve missed a few workouts. You haven’t exactly eaten things that are good for you lately. That doesn’t mean you have to stay stuck.
It happens – to everyone. Whether you’re a beginner in getting your health back on track, or you’re a personal trainer, it happens.
You feel like you’ve fallen off the weight-loss wagon. Now you’re beating yourself up for failing. This is where you might run to the refrigerator to soothe your defeated heart.

Don’t do it!
I’m preaching this to myself by the way.

The old you eats through your emotions.

The old you made a million excuses for not starting to exercise and eat right. You would start Monday, then tomorrow wouldn’t come. You couldn’t stay on track because your husband wouldn’t adopt a new healthy lifestyle with you. You just didn’t have time to get healthy.

Then the old you stopped making excuses and started doing something to change. Remember her? Remember him?

The new you deals with setbacks and gets back on the wagon.

You’re not a failure. So you had a setback. So you had a few bad days. So you’ve had a bad week. So you’ve eaten enough sugar in the last three days to fill Willy Wonka’s warehouse. (Okay, that one hits home for me.)
What you do with your setback depends on you. And I have a feeling you’re ready to focus on the next right step instead of living in the past.
You only fail when you stop trying. (Tweet that)

Working through the process is where success happens.

Getting healthy is a process. You didn’t become overweight overnight. You didn’t put on that baby weight in a few days. It was a process.
You’ll encounter small mistakes. We all do. But whatever you’ve gained can be lost again. If you’ve missed a workout, your life is not over. I have to tell myself this frequently.
Get to the gym tomorrow because it’s the next right step.
Allow a new day to be a new beginning. That’s what the new you would do.
