Change...comes with set backs

I am determined to make this work this time and to that effect, I keep reminding myself that I will have set backs! I will have days, especially while retraining my diet, when I will completely blow my calories and I may not exercise everyday. As long as I can recognize those days and not let them train wreck on me, I will be ok.
As you might expect, this subject is on my mind because I have had a rough couple of days this week. I have missed 2 nights of exercise and have eaten crap for the last 2 days.
Thankfully I am able to recognize it...it's the reigning it in that I am still grappling with. I am learning, but it is still a day by day kind of thing and it's hard. It may take me a few days to get back to the good place I was in last week, but I WILL get back!
So just remember that even if you slide a little on that slippery slope of getting healthy, if you dig in your heels and don't give up, you'll start climbing again in no time. Just remember the climb because if you forget any of it, you will slide right back down.

I hate to quote Miley Cyrus, but if it fits...

The Climb

I can almost see it
That dream I'm dreaming
But there's a voice inside my head saying
"You'll never reach it"

Every step I'm taking
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaken

But I, I gotta keep trying
Gotta keep my head held high

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be a uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose

Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side

It's the climb.
