When reality hits you - The big downfall                                               


Hello bloggers,

Today I woke up so enthusiastic and full of energy. I have to tell you though, I haven't felt this eager to eat right and exercise for at least two months now. It has been a tough two months because I live in Canada and when summer comes everybody starts going camping, drinking alcohol, eating everything and guess what? you are surrounded by these people all the time. It has been so hard for me to say NO to unhealthy foods, I have to say that I deviated from my regimen and now I am full of regrets. It was very frustrating to put unhealthy foods in my mouth when I knew I shouldn't have eaten them. I was extremely conscious of my actions and even knowing didn't stop me. So here is when I ask myself, where did my will power go? Where did my determination go? What just happened to me? I am sitting here wishing I never ate anything, and that I maintained my diet's mode on.

There are a few things I want to talk about. Just because you hit a bump on the road does not mean you are going to give up. Failure means FIGHTING, you have to fight against what makes you feel bad, sad, angry and so on. Fight for what you want, for what you desire. Not fighting means complete failure. Here are few things for you to read:

• Don't be ashamed: Feeling disappointed about your performance is, believe it or not, the key to realize that you have made a mistake. Is the time to take action and be better. You have to recognize the fact that being sad or feeling sorry for yourself will do no good, but will bring you down. Feeling this way won't certainly bring your body back to normal; on the contrary, will held you back from feeling motivated to work harder, eat better and to finally reach your goal.
• Reset: Meditate and figure out what you really want for yourself. It is never too late to start all over again, but just this time do it like you mean it. We are humans and the best way to learn about life and other things is by making mistakes, but still that doesn't mean that every month you are going to allow yourself to feel disappointed. Instead, set your mind to be better, stronger and determined. Reset and press play to your new healthy lifestyle. Start fresh and live the regrets behind.
• Create: Maybe you are not feeling motivated because you do the same workout everyday. Instead, create a new routine, mix it up, challenge yourself. Creating a new workout routine will certainly help boost that motivation. Try something new and challenge your body and mind.
• Focus: Attention is important for everything you do in life, but fitness and nutrition is something that requires 200% focus to reach your desirable goal. Focus is needed to train hard, to remain in your healthy lifestyle, to sleep enough, and so on. To focus on what you want for yourself will help your motivation, dedication and determination.
• Will Power: Learn to say NO. If somebody offers you one of your favorite desserts, try your hardest to say NO. Why? Well by saying NO it will definitely make you feel better at the end of the day, you will feel so proud of yourself because you kept your promise of living a better life. Think about it though, every time you consume something so good, but so bad for you; you will feel awesome while eating it, but you won't feel any good afterwards. This is the moment when regrets make an appearance making you feel worthless, sad and disappointed. Avoid these feelings by eating right, by being yourself, by following strictly your new lifestyle.

You are better than feeling disappointed. You are better than regrets. You are better than mistakes. Take advantage of the mistakes you have made and be better everyday, feel better about yourself, smile often, think about yourself and how this new life is causing a positive impact in your life. Always remember how this new lifestyle makes you smile, and boost that confidence. Remember if you feel sad in the inside, that is what you reflect on the outside.
