We All Screw Up, OK?

I just have to remind everyone that we all screw up from time to time. Even, us competitors.

My friend Luwannah is a Bikini competitor. Here are just a few examples of how she has screwed up on her pre-contest diet for the Texas State Naturals contest, which is less than 2 months away...
1. She went to Jamaica for 5 days and didn't work out at all. Also drank beer.
2. She drank a REAL dr. pepper the other day
3. She skipped the gym this week a couple times because she went to a concert and was just feeling lazy

Here are some ways that I have screwed up lately:
1. Instead of only one cheat day last week, I went ahead and drank alcohol 2 days in a row.
2. I skipped my crossfit class for one whole week this month.
3. I didn't go to the gym on Monday.
4. I ate a reeses peanut butter cup last night

Guess, what? We are all human. If you are on a diet and having a hard time, know that we are all messing up sometimes. Just try to get back on it as soon as possible to minimize any real damage you could do. Don't EVER say, oh well I already blew it so let me just jump off this cliff and start over later....NO NO NO, that is a HORRIBLE mentality to have and will get you NO WHERE!!!

Also, recognize that it is ok as long as you accept that it was your decision and you can always make better ones going forward...don't try and let other people sabotage you and even worse, don't try to blame other people for your decisions. It is only us and us alone at the end of the day that can make the major changes we need to make.

Most people out there are what I like to call "crap pushers"...you just have to figure out how to steer clear of the crap.
