At one restaurant I was able to stick with my original meal choice, and made a pretty healthy decision. The next meal was catered and I had no choice. I avoided the bread and mashed potatoes, so I was left with baked chicken and peach cobbler. Should I have eaten the cobbler? No, but I did because I was starving. Should I have brought more snacks? Yes. Trail and error. The next restaurant we were going to eat at was not open, so we went to a burger place. I should have been more strict and not gotten a bun but I didn't even think about it. I need to learn to plan ahead when your meal options might change.
Workouts also did not go as planned. The first night, I got a great workout. The fitness center was great and the room was spacious for other exercise. The second hotel, not so great. No workout facility, and I would not have laid on the floor unless someone paid me. Crunches are incredibly hard to do on a bed haha. I could have been more dedicated and done more on the bed, or wall sits, but I opted to go to sleep since we got in around 9:30 and it was 10 something before I was even settled in.
Here is why I am thankful for the setbacks. I know what I need to fix. I know what I can do better next time. Every day I am finding myself a little more motivated to pick back up on my healthy lifestyle, and every day I am feeling a little better about myself. Each day is a new opportunity to better yourself. Just because you mess up one day, or eat a bad meal, take the next day to not do that again. You don't have to wait until the beginning of the month or a Monday. Start now.
It might be a Thursday, but I am going to make this Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday the most successful yet! There is no reason not to.
