edited October 2 in Motivation and Support
My second day as a MFP'er and I fell right back into old habits: it was (and still is) POURING rain, so did not do my cardio walk today, work bordered on lunatic asylum, 1st day of school stuff, on and on. Now I'm getting ready for bed and am disgusted with myself for yielding so quickly. I'm ashamed. Well, tomorrow is another chance to get it right, I hope........

    It is a process, you will get there.

    As for right now? Drop and give me 2 push ups and 5 squats!! Honest this is what got me to lose my weight. When I backslid, I did SOMETHING...................anything! Then I kept the momentum

    So what will you do right now to change your fate??

    Good luck...............you an do it!!:drinker:

    Every time I feel like giving up bc I messed up, I read something about it... to inspire me. It really helps renew my motivation.

    I did the 5 squats! My push ups are less than textbook due to surgery, but I tried those, too. Thanks for the hop in the britches that I need!

    Every day begins a new day. Don't let what happened in the past dictate what you do in the here and now. Keep the fire and keep the faith, with perseverance comes success.

    Hang in there...

    Rain won't kill you!!

    I ran 8Km+ under rain and wind today and I'm still here. Make this journey a must because if it is a must you can't skip it, not because of the rain, nor anything else. Make it a must, that's all it takes.

    Each meal is a new start...don't think of it as an entire day....take it one meal at a time. :wink: We all have meals that are less than healthy. I am a teacher so I am up 1/2 hour early:yawn: and am currently doing Ripped in 30. It is 25 minutes in length and the extra energy boost in the AM gets me going. :happy:
    Good luck.

    Well said and point taken. I guess my explanation is more accurately an excuse. Guess who'll be out pounding pavement at
    4:30 AM tomorrow, regardless of weather? I'm not made of so much sugar that I'll melt......... :))

    After reading this article something clicked and I got inspired to try and try again anytime I experience a setback of any kind. Everyone makes mistakes, EVERYONE, but sucess means carrying on with your goals in spite of them :)
