Getting derailed again? Oh No!!!

Created by MyFitnessPal - Free Calorie Counter




This past weekend I had lost my focus to my goals.
Dealing with social gatherings and trying to meet your fitness goals, can be very difficult. And let's not forget resisting all the temptation!
People look at me and say :"Oh, you are fine, just have a bite and workout extra hard next week".
I've been getting a lot of that lately. And mostly from close friends and family members. If I turn down their offer,I get a dirty look or hear that I am getting this fitness thing over my head.
Just the other day, a friend told me that I am pushing myself too hard.
I actually thanked this person for the concern and actually took a day off after hearing that.
Lately I've been having a hard time balancing my life. A 10 hour shift at work, school, home responsibilities such as paying the bills on time. Having quality time with friends and family, cooking my meals, etc.
Imagine if I had a child? I think I'd go nuts.
It's incredible how there are so many amazing women who does this with a family. These womem inspire me actually! So why the heck am I complaining right?
A good friend told me that it is anxiety taking and getting the better of me. "My old self talking".
So I am telling the old self to "shut the h*** up", and that quitting right now is not an option. Sure I had a bad weekend, but am I going to let it derail the progress I've gotten so far? I don't think so!

Nobody said this was going to be easy! I got this !

  1. Hey girl!!!
    It's all about balance! There is never winning in the "all or nothing attitude"

    You have to really think for yourself if you need to take the time off or not. There are LOTS of people (even our dear loved ones) that will have something to say. If you goal is to be " above average, in shape" then you have to do some "above average" things! Clean eating and hard workouts! BUT there is alwaya room for fun and "treats". Let me know if you want to chat girl! I know how you feel and it took me awhile to figure it all out!

    I know you will reach all your goals! XO
