Don't call it a setback.

Beach bum weekend

This post is for all my readers feeling down on themselves for their diet choices this weekend. I would love to only talk about how great my progress is and how proud I am of this bikini photo but the truth is.. I was bad this weekend. The kind of weekend you feel guilt about for a week. The night started with flavored vodka (ugh, sugar!) ended in vegan cookies (12 cookies is too many cookies even if they are made with coconut oil,) followed by a rough day of "all I want is carbs."

How do I combat a set back? By not making it a habit. Don't let your slip ups become a downwards spiral. Pick yourself back up and keep on keeping on. Repeat this like a mantra:

EVERYONE has bad days - no one is perfect.

Drink water, flush it out, and if you are up for it, do some fasted cardio the next day.

Fasted cardio- Cardio without eating beforehand. It is said to help target fat zones, but I only recommend it if your gym is close and you are not lifting heavy.

These are subtle changes that can change your life. So why not start today?
