    Well, I ate FAR too much pizza yesterday. And when I went on my 3-mile run this morning, it was faster and easier than usual. So I'm going to count that pizza as fuel and stop feeling guilty about it.

    Or so I tell myself. :)

    I realize that guilt will get me nowhere and there is no way to undo the done. So I pick myself up and move forward. Tomorrow is going to come whether you choose to better your health and fitness or not - so you might as well always be productive and never let a "splurge" day hold you back. You don't lose all your weight in one day and you don't gain it all back in one day either. Think in terms of this being a lifestyle change and then put that one day in perspective to ALL the days you have left, yet to live. The day doesn't hold as much weight then.

    If I mess up, I work out on one of the two days I'm scheduled to not work out. I don't worry about every day, rather I focus on making my weekly goals.

    Guilt is a paralyzer so , in the words of Pumba from the Lion King , " you've got to put your behind in the past " ( put your past behind you ) . Every day is a new start , use what you messed up on yesterday as a teaching tool , and step forward without the guilt .

    Knocked down 7 times , got back up 8 ! As long as you keep getting back up you are , in the words of another cartoon character Charlie Sheen , " Winning " !
