Wow, traveling and doing Body for Life is a challenge! I guess that's part of why they call this a challenge. I didn't realize how much of my progress was due to developing a finely honed routine. My gym... my grocery store... my daily schedule. Each day was just a repeat of the day before and that was working.
I gave myself a Free Day on the day that I flew to Florida but that was five days ago and my diet has been struggling ever since. I've managed to get my workouts in but vacation is about yummy food! Really, I've done better than I feel like I have but not as good as I was planning. Finally last night I decided just to have two slices of pie and be done with it. All of this picking at eating well but having little cheats was driving me crazy. Better just to indulge once and then get back on the wagon. Happily I've found that my motivation has returned and now I'm raring to go again.
If you've ever lost weight, has this happened to you... You overindulge once and then you feel sure that you've put all your weight back on? I've lost 25 pounds since August but when I had two (small) slices of pie I was certain that I would look in the mirror and look like I did in July. Fitness is so psychological, isn't it?
