RRC – WEEK 4 DAY 5
I really screwed things up this past weekend. I had to travel out of town again and failed to prepare for this trip like I have my other ones this month. Because of that I ate all the wrong things, my times were all over the map and I came home feeling like I had gained a ton. I missed two days of workouts and, although I had full intentions of making then up while on the road, I did not do anything that would remotely be confused with a workout. When I step on the scale Friday morning I hope just to break even. Even though I regret what happened this weekend I did learn a very valuable lesson. Intentions do not accomplish much.
One part of the Ripped Rulez Challenge is that I have to keep a nutrition journal and send it in once a week. Last weeks journal was not my best and my journal this week is going to be horrible. While on the road I received an encouraging email from Michael. There was one word that stuck out more than any of the others – CONSISTANCY!
None of us have a problem with consistency. We are either consistently good or bad. We do things on a daily basis that impact our overall performance. Our problem (I am including me in this one as well) is that we need to get into the habit of doing the RIGHT things, consistently. For many years I did the WRONG things and did them over and over again. Last year I decided that I was going to make a change. I am still in the changing process.
From here on out my commitment to the RRC will be all out! I do not know who else is in this competition but they better look out. I’m in it for the long haul.

Hang in there. There is no turning back…make the best of the time you have left in the challenge.

so you messed up a little; get over it and get your butt kicking to set things right! We’ve all made mistakes on a program; so have I. Just see beyond it all and you’ll do great; you have so far!!
