I raided the mini-bar. 🙂
Guilty as charged of letting my good diet habits go right off the rails. Ha! That said, I really enjoyed the big bag of chocolate covered mixed nuts that I devoured…although I didn’t feel so great the next morning. Oh well. I realized there was nothing I could do about the past and followed this advice:
Get over it and back on track with good habits. It’s just one mistake…it’s just minor damage that your body will deal with…and in fact, it’s GOOD to have a few extra calories from time to time to keep your fat burning hormones healthy. Your body needs a cheat meal, as does your sanity!
So jump right back to your good habits when you make a mistake. If I can do it, so can you. No matter what happened this weekend, move on, learn from it, and stay strong – and push on!
I also want you to STOP obsessing about your scale weight. Focus on the behaviors that help you lose fat. Millions of people have given up because of an erroneous emphasis on bodyweight, rather than belly fat and inches lost.
But the scale doesn’t matter. NO ONE knows how much you weigh.
It is how you fit in your clothes and look in the mirror that counts. Get as much control as you can by planning, shopping, and preparing, but don’t get upset by things you can’t control. Go with the flow. Breathe. Work on improving everything else. Stay strong and push on!
Here’s a nutrition tip for you: Make sure to follow up your morning exercise with a fat burning meal of protein, fiber, healthy fat, and water. You could use one of my shake recipes, or have eggs and fruit, or as I prefer, scrambled eggs with a side of spinach drizzled with olive oil.
Protein, fiber, and healthy fats will leave you full for hours without the sugar crashes you’d get from eating cereal and juice, or worse, coffee and a donut.
