    Pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and start again. Don't beat yourself up, just make a new decision. You'll do fine!

    Today's a new day - rather than just waiting to see if it works out, make a plan and make it happen. Schedule time to workout and don't allow yourself to not do it. Take an hour to sit down and make a meal plan for the next week, including stuff you could take to work for meals there, and then go grocery shopping. Shopping is pretty quick when you have a list and stick to it! Some days are hectic and we all fall off the wagon at times, but what's important is that you learn from it and use your not-so-hectic times to plan and get ahead, to make the more hectic times a bit easier and less stressful since you've already done the planning!

    It's o.k.! Don't beat yourself up! I used to do that all the time and you have to just get back on track. You can do it!

    I just went through a 2 week period just like this! I'm slowly learning to leave the past mistakes where they belong .... Yesterday! Life happens! Stick with MFP .... Record your food and exercise .... Set a short-term, realistic goal .... And when you reach it make sure you tell all of us!! A pat on the back and a "WTG!!" is worth a lot! OH .... And don't forget to find a healthy way of celebrating your reached goal!! :bigsmile:

    SPEED BUMP! So it made you slow down, now that you are over it there is no need to stop and look back. It won't be your only one, we just need to pick up speed now and keep motivated. Mine was the long weekend. Camping on the wild west coast, there was no power, no internet, so I didn't track what I ate for the first time since I started. I know I ate healthy meals, but I also had Irish cream in my coffee and other things not normaly on my menu. I am in this for the long haul and if I get back to my ruitine of healthy eats and exercise I will not look back at the weekend with any regrets. It was just part of the journey.

    You are not alone, I have very good days and some bads days too. I liked what somebody said about making a list, planning for the rest of the week and set time. Even if you work out 10 min in the morning and 10 in the afternoon things will be different. It was a bad day...or a bad weekend but you can make it a good one now!!! you can do it!

    I say that to myself oftennnnn...Write down the way you would like to see yourself. I have created a vision board and I reassure myself when I am down I am going to make it!!! Yes your are going to make it!!!

    I appreciate the support that everybody is giving you through this board. Have a great week!!! and lets talk on Friday to share with each other how things went.

    Trained motorcycle riders know to turn their head and eyes and look at where they want the bike to go. If we look at the curb, we hit the curb. Don't focus on what happened or that is where you will keep going. Instead focus on your long term goals, where you want to go and you will get there.
