Success Not Perfection

Soo sorry I haven't posted for the last couple of days. This weekend has been proven to be a challenge and I haven't been doing very well on eating healthy. So I have decided that starting now I am going to get back on track. My family is at BJs right now and I'm really glad that I am at home and not where the temptation is. I am so sorry to everyone that has been drawing some strength from my success but I can tell you now that it is ok to mess up, and it is even expected, but it is what we do after we mess up that makes up who we are. I know that most of you reading this blog have been in the exact same place I am right now. Maybe you were on a diet and started eating junk food again, maybe you were working out every day then stopped all of the sudden. Whatever it is you CAN get back on track. If there is something you want to change do it! Tomorrow is not the day you should start on accomplishing your goals. I promise that I won't ask you to do anything that I am not willing to do myself. So here is my new goal: I am only going to have ONE day during the week that I allow myself to be indulgent. For these past 5 weeks it has been the rule that I was allowed to cheat during the weekends and I would be really strict with myself during the week. My reason for changing this is because I haven't been losing weight as fast as I had hoped. I think it always helps to write our goals down and then tell someone else. I have done both by posting here but you don't have to make them public. Maybe you can put it up on your bathroom mirror and tell your significant other or maybe you can hang it up on your fridge and then tell your mom. Whichever goal you decide to make, don't be afraid to succeed. I found a quote about success that I think applies here.

"Aim for success, not perfection. Never give up your right to be wrong, because then you will lose the ability to learn new things and move forward with your life." -Dr. David M. Burns
