Happy Monday, Everyone! I will get straight to it. This topic crossed my mind today as I reflected on how easy it has been to get off track with my plan in the last 2 months. I had about 4 straight months of progress and have not gotten back on my plan.
Here are just a few of the things I have noticed that I need to be accountable for so I am not using them as an excuse to stray from my plan.
In a Hurry - Our schedules can be crazy with work, kid's sports, church/community activities, etc. Often we may be running from place to place and realize we have gotten pretty hungry. In those instances, if we have not prepared we normally grab the closest and fastest thing, which is usually an unhealthy food choice.
Money Concern - Ah, the cheap food is easy to go to when funds are short, isn't it? However, we all know that opting for cheap food now, will cost us time and money down the line when it comes to managing health concerns.
Office Options - Donuts and Pizza are plentiful around the office, aren't they? While it is nice when a company does nice things to help create a happy environment for employees, this can be the very thing that gets us off track if we lack the discipline to say no.
We have all heard the saying, If you fail to plan then, you fail to plan. Well, I have planned to fail in the last two months. I am not proud of it, but I am acknowledging it. None of the things I have mentioned are good excuses for consistent unhealthy choices. The key is in the plan.
So, what am I doing about it? For starters, my plan is not a plan until it is written down. I will keep blogging about my fitness journey until the updates are consistent, no matter how long that takes. Second, I am reaching out for your advice, support, and accountability.
Who has conquered this before and what is your advice for those of us who were in the zone, have fallen off track for one reason or another, and are struggling to get back on track?
