I knew that traveling and staying away from home for a few weeks would present special challenges to my life style changes but I must be able to deal with them successfully because essentially life is all about change and we are often pushed into uncomfortable situations and times! If we have a dieting or short term mentality when it comes to changing our body I imagine it is fairly easy to get off track, but if it is an entirely new way of living that we are striving for these hurdles need to be carefully assessed so that we can successfully jump them! I have done fairly well in my new situation, exercise and diet wise although last night I had fried chicken...and I paid the price, it made me a little sick to my stomach but a much worse mental cost. I beat myself up for quite awhile last night and when I started feeling physically better I dragged my booty up and went to the gym again. I worked pretty hard but still wish I could hire a trainer again. I think that having a trainer or even a serious work out buddy would really help me push myself to the next level.
As far as eating the chicken is concerned I woke up this morning, wrote about it in my food journal and forgave myself...now it's time to move on and do better, that's the whole thing with lifestyle changes, you're going to eat stuff through life that you probably shouldn't have but how you subsequently carry on after that is crucial. Accept it and move on and don't let one (or even a couple) bad choices derail your progress, your whole life...that's just throwing the baby out with the bath water. Unfortunately dieting tends to have that effect on people and may be a big reason it doesn't work!
Have a great day!
