So, I reached a setback. Already.
I've ended my relationship with Lucille Roberts gym. It had nothing to do with the gym itself. It was more a matter of convenience. The gym was too far from my home and my office, and my trainer and I could never seem to be free on the same day. I wanted to work out as much as possible, but it was too difficult, so our arrangement is over.
Additionally, the past week and a half has been incredibly stressful. And as I've said before, I am a stress eater. And, so, I've been eating pretty badly. My husband is the cook in our home, and his meals are usually pretty healthy, but I've been so busy that I've had to eat a lot of meals on the run. That means fries. Or tacos. Or chicken nuggets.
I got really angry at myself, and I've been really angry for about a week. But tonight, I decided to forgive myself. I just need to get back on the ball.
So, I joined a new gym, one that has one location fifteen minutes from my office and another ten minutes from my home. I am going to go back onto Weight Watchers, which has worked for me incredibly well. Twice. Counting points is easier for me than worrying about what type of metabolizer I am and keeping track of a do- and do-not-eat list.
And, next time I have a setback (and let's be honest, I totally will), I'm just going to forgive myself and get back to it.
How do you recover from a fitness setback?
