Give Yourself Grace

During my time in Belize, it was very hot. I chose not to exercise all week long. As a result, coming back into my normal fitness schedule this week has been challenging. It is amazing to see what is lost with one week off. I could allow this to affect me -- maybe making me go lighter; I could even buy into old gobbledegook and say maybe "I am not strong enough" or whatever; I could condemn myself and say I was "so bad for not exercising." 
But, that's not who I am or who I have become. I am powerful and strong. I choose not to believe in an "all or nothing" type of mindset. I choose to give myself grace. I choose to go full throttle on my workouts and leap back into it all.
I think people use an "all or nothing" mindset all the time when it comes to exercise. Taking off a day for your workouts doesn't have to ruin your whole week. Taking off a week doesn't need to affect how you do the rest of the month. Give yourself grace. Life happens. Kids need things. Spouses can be demanding.
Why not to choose to ‪#‎changeyourthinking‬ by giving yourself grace and not giving up? Can you hold any critical thought captive -- that is brain trash - let it go!
Could you try writing out your fitness schedule for the week then analyze what worked, what didn't? Do you need to look at smaller bursts of exercise? Think of the those 10 minute high intensity training apps we have discussed before.
Remember friends, you need to a cheerleader for yourself! Give yourself compliments about your progress. (Share them on here and we will encourage you, too).
No matter what - you are worth it!! You are amazing! You are making progress! ‪#‎changeyourreality‬
