Some of us lack a couple of gears; it’s either full power ahead or nothing. Do you suffer from that? I used to when it came to my workouts, to my nutrition and just everyday life. My All or Nothing mode was forged a long ago and was basically how I got through my college and my eating disorder years. I felt that if I stopped the momentum that I would have to re-do the whole darn thing. This topic I wanted to share this topic with you because when we start the New Year goals, you started with determination to create your healthy lifestyle and with enthusiasm and hope. You watch your food intake diligently, exercise like it was going out of style, and even avoid the temptations that seems to be lurking around every corner. And you are confident that you were going to reach your goals once and for all!

Then certain tragedy struck. You ate an extra piece of pizza this weekend. Realizing you had “blown” your day of nutrition; so you ate another and another and but then couldn’t get it together the next day either. Even worse, you missed one workout, and that turned into a whole week away from the gym. After that, your momentum to start over again was gone, and your gym bag hasn’t left the closet since.

Every time you misstep on your healthy journey, you have two choices: to keep walking backwards, which will surely take you even further away from your goals; or accept what has happened which is completely is normal and forgivable. If you choose to accept you have taken not one, but two positive steps down the path that brings your closer to the future you want.

If you’re reading this, you might have been walking backwards for a while. But instead of waiting for the next day, week, month or even year to overhaul your habits, start TODAY. And start small. You can’t go from the recliner to running or from burgers to Brussels sprouts in an afternoon. But you can do one thing little steps to get you back on the right track. That will help you regain your momentum for healthy living. It will happen, I promise. I see this day in day out being a trainer and let me tell you, it is more of a mental game than anything else. I get it—if you have read my bio, you know I had and still have the same issue.
