Procrastination
Many of us at some point of time have a valid reason why we couldn’t go to the gym. Maybe you were sick, tired, or hungry, or maybe someone, or something (like work) distracted you. And then you say, well I’ll just skip today.
Many of us use that same reasoning in our diets too. Well, I will just eat bad this one time. I had a bad day, or don’t have time to cook healthy, or you just want that treat.
Then after going off track either in working out or eating, a spiral of events happen that lead to this repeating itself. Until you are back on an unhealthy lifestyle.
Many people who go through this, always say, "I will start fresh Monday". Why wait till next week. Start fresh now. Drop that Ice Cream and cookies (lol) and get your butt in the gym. Or even go for a walk. Do something for you to try to achieve your goals.
This has been me for a while. Numerous health issues, Numerous distractions. Those things are still there (To a lesser extent) and will be there. But if health and fitness is important, we need to make it a priority.
No matter what went on, there is always something we could have done better in the past. So lets do it better now.
