Getting Back Up - After Falling Down

I have a confession to make. I have fallen off the wagon with my diet and fitness activities.

Latley I eat more fat than I would like too. Sometimes I eat foods that don't make me feel great. Sometimes I end up being sedentary for a little while.

I'm facing the fact that 9 months of 100% focus has committed me to 100% free range falling off the wagon. But I believe my ability to succeed can be measured by my determination and focus, as well as an ability to learn from your “mistakes”, as well as reflecting on what is working well during this short "off time".

So - Whats the Plan?

1. Recommit - Commitment is very important. It just means that you're willing to do whatever it takes to get to where you want to go.

2. Plan Restart -  I am going to write down everything I eat, drink and enjoy. No matter now good or bad it is. Having an overview on what i'm eating and doing wrong will not only give me a better idea of what i'm doing wrong, but also the times of day that i'm hungry. What's triggering me, and how I can make better choices.

3. Put Your Sneakers On And Move - I need to get back to what I love. ZUMBA! Getting back on track and in the gym will not only improve my body, but also my mood, sleep and how I feel about the food I eat.

That's the plan. Now i'm getting on it!
