Life happens

...doesn't it? Life often gets in the way. In the way of things we want to do AND things we want to accomplish. You can look at it two ways: You can either give up or move on.

I say this because I'm looking at my calendar, and I haven't worked-out consistently since the first week of July. And...ready for it??

I'M OKAY WITH IT.

It's not like I've been lounging around, enjoying free-time, because man...that's the farthest thing from the truth. BUT...life happens. I've been away from my home nearly every night in July, not crawling into bed until around 11 or 12...and sometimes, later. During this crazy month, I've managed to lose 4lbs. How? I continued to eat clean.

A large portion of my time was spent at the theatre (my daughter was in a show, and I worked backstage), and the food that is catered in is NEVER the healthiest option. Pizza, sandwiches (on white bread), snacks--cheese, crackers, chips, pretzels, etc. But sometimes, you're starving and you have to eat. So, yes, I did indulge on a few occasions. BUT, I remained a clean eater 95% of the time. It makes SUCH a huge difference.

This week, I most likely won't work out, either. I have missed my family, and I want to have some downtime with them. I'm going to cook dinner every night, i'm going to sit down and enjoy some tv, and i'm going to RELAX! So next week, i'll be raring and ready to go!

So you see? Life happens. It doesn't mean you quit--it means you just give it a new start!
