Just so you know, set backs happen to everyone in training and weight loss.
Everyone.
They are the real test.
When you have an injury, or you get sick, or you go on vacation and your workout schedule is messed up and your eating patterns are in disarray, what do you do?
Many of us like to use these times as excuses…but we all know that’s exactly what they are. Just excuses.
If you’re sick or injured or on vacation, with a little planning you can still eat healthy.
With injuries and on vacations you can still find ways to workout. My sister who has been suffering from plantar fasciitis and can barely use her feet is the perfect example of someone who is determined to keep going, no matter what. She has continued to exercise and lose weight through resistance training and biking. How many people would say in her situation, "Well, I can't really do anything because I can't use my feet." ? She doesn't let it stop her. In fact, I think it makes her more determined.
Most injuries only limit certain aspects of your training...some form of exercise is still possible for almost everyone.
Instead of deciding to use a set back as an excuse, look at it as an opportunity to focus on other aspects of your health or training.
Lance Armstrong broke his collarbone a few months before the Tour de France, but he didn’t let it stop him…it just made his story all that much more amazing.
Set backs can make you stronger…if you let them.
