Failure / Taking 2 steps backward

We all have times when we fall short of our goal, or slip-up along the way.  I see many posts and profiles where consistency with eating clean is frustrating and a challenge.  (This is certainly the case for yours truly, as well)

It helps to keep in mind a quote I heard from Zig Ziglar:  "FAILURE IS AN EVENT, IT IS NOT A PERSON.  YESTERDAY REALLY DID END LAST NIGHT." 

For me, it also helps to remember that BB, exercise and nutrition are not the ultimate end goal.  Yes, I do want to have a muscular, cut and healthy body.  Yet my life is not all about having the perfect physique and level of fitness.  They should be tools to enrich life, not become our reason for living. 

Have a blessed day.  (And lift some iron and eat clean)

JUST GETTING TO THE GYM IS A SUCCESSFUL WORKOUT.     :-)

    Yep! That is true on both sides of the equation. It’s as easy to foget how far you’ve come as it is to forget where you want to go. Thanks! That blog entry is all me!

    I struggled with eating clean for a long time. I just took it day by day and slowly replaced bad habits with good habits. I’ve reached a point now where I just don’t have any desire for most of the fatty/salty/starchy/ foods I used to crave (I’m still working on chocolate!). Once I got a taste of how my body could look and how I would feel by eating healthy consistently, the desire for the pleasure of those foods disappeared. I hope you can reach that place in your life too.
