Skipped the Gym Today:
No I have not fallen off the wagon. I have been eating completely nutritiously all day and fully intend on going to the gym tomorrow morning. I just needed a break. It was really really nice getting to sleep a little more. It was also….good for my soul…getting to drive to work in daylight. I really live in such a beautiful area (wine country of Northern California) and I never get to see it. I’ve been leaving the house in the pitch dark and coming home in the pitch dark. It can kind of be depressing.
Anyways, I really enjoyed part of the book Body for Life for Women that talked about the “falling off the wagon” mentality. It encouraged progress vs. perfection. Women (especially me) tend to strive for perfection in dieting and exercise. When they sleep in one morning or eat a piece of chocolate cake, they feel that they have messed up their perfect score and might as well give up. This is the kind of attitude I need to avoid! The book encouraged PLANNING for slip ups and planning about how to not let them bring you down. Just get back to the gym tomorrow.

I haven't read that book before, but it sounds great. I feel the same way when I do things like eat too much or don't work out like I plan, but we can't let it get us down!
