What do you do when you mess up?

Question

I have been doing really good with my eating habits (I'm an over eater) and with exercising almost every day... But today I sabotaged myself and ate 2 big chocolate muffins. 😥 I want to do my work out but feel like it's pointless since I already messed up by eating junk. Do I push through and don't let it get to me or just give up for the day? 😣

Answer

Neither. You look at those muffins like the treat they were and continue creating good habits. A cheat treat isn’t going to make or break your progress. It’s about HABITS.

Answer

Push through! It’s ok to splurge sometimes. If I’m too strict on myself then I just end up completely falling off and eating a ton of crap. Whenever I crave something and I think it’s worth it then I’ll have it, but maybe try a small proportion so you don’t totally regret it. But do that workout! Momentum is also super helpful to stay on track!

Answer

I eat well Sunday through Friday. Saturday is a free for all, but I usually only splurge at one meal. Lol. Completely depriving yourself will make you crave the food more.

Answer

detox water!! take it down. slice lemons and cucumbers, even throw in a green tea bag

Answer

Don’t give up! Start again! You are allowed to cheat once in awhile. If you held yourself back from everything you’d break and eat everything you shouldn’t. Be nice to yourself and try again :)

Answer

I continue my work out routine. If I want a cookie I’ll eat s cookie but I’m still going to work out.

Answer

Thanks, ladies! I'm so new to this that I wasn't sure if there would be any use to exercising after that or not. I don't think it would have been that big a deal to me if I had just eaten 1 or 1/2 of one. These were pretty big muffins... and I ate 2! But I did my work out plus a little extra! Thanks for the encouragement!
