:\ I had a weekend vacay, and now that I havent been to the gym in 4 days I feel like I've ruined my routine! On top of not eating my best.... have I just completely ruined how far ive come in the last 4 weeks? I lost 8 lbs and I dont want it all to be for nothing. Once u take a few days off, its hard to get back into it...

    One day at a time, just picck up where you left off. This all for nothing ruined forever approach is just nonsense and untrue. If you lost 8lbs then thats equivalent to 28,000 calories or 56 big macs. the exercise you missed out on is unlikely to be more than a burn of 2000 calories.

    Just pack your gym bag, go back and start your routine, do a class if you need to. I recently had to take a few weeks off due to injury and illness. I went back and was back into things quickly. Go and just do it youll be fine.

    Couldn't have typed it better myself. Think of the few days you had off as rest days, and just go :)
