What do you do to get back on track after you have had a not so good week/two? What do you do to try and overcome the obstacles life has thrown at you that made you have those off weeks?? [/quote]
My solution to overcome my obstacles are:
1) Refrain from buying any junk foods .
2)Remove junk from the pantry and store them in the garage far way from the kitchen.
3)Drink more than 8 glasses of water.
4)Cut out added salt in in meal preparations.
5)Eat green salad for lunch and dinner.
6)Increase my physical activity.
7) Weigh daily and pray that I do not gain.4 -

Goals/Day: Finally started feeling better this evening from the weekend. It took me 2 days to get over the wine. It'll for sure be a while before I drink again! Meant to mention yesterday that when I was away visiting my family, there were a lot of "jaws dropping" and they kept telling me how great I looked. They then asked how, and I said the good old fashioned way
. Made me feel great. 3 -
Questions of the week:
What do you do to get back on track when you have had a not so great week/two?
1. Remind myself that I don’t have to be perfect, I just need to be committed and consistent about recommitting to this lifestyle every single day...knowing that some days/weeks/months will be better than others.
2. Remind myself of my why - why is it important for me to take control of my health?
3. Commit to light exercise at least 3 days during my first comeback week and build back up from there. (When I’m exercising, I usually eat healthier.)
4. Focus on eating lots of fruits and vegetables instead of focusing on what I can’t eat. The more fresh produce I eat, the less junk food I usually crave.
What do you do to overcome the obstacles that life has thrown at you to make you have those off weeks?
1. More prayer and meditation
2. More rest/sleep
3. More walks outside to enjoy nature4 -

Questions of the week:
What do you do to get back on track when you have had a not so great week/two?
I refocus mentally with all of the reasons I am striving to be healthier.
Then set myself up for success by planning meals, planning what to do if I want to stray, meal prepping and having everything stocked up in the kitchen.
I set small daily goals and build on them as each day gets easier.
I also join exercise challenges to help me focus on moving more.
What do you do to overcome the obstacles that life has thrown at you to make you have those off weeks? I try to figure out what I can do to remove the obstacles or find a better way to react to the obstacles, planning is the key- sometimes the obstacles can be overwhelming so when that happens, taking one day at a time (or less), focusing on just the one day is helpful and each success, no matter how small, is a win. The mental game: Each day is new, leave the past behind and focus on what I can do right now, this minute to set myself up for winning this day.
