I love training my girls, but I so dislike their mindset when it comes to setting any goals and tryng to achieve them.
The other month, an online client of mine was close to her goal weight, but ended up falling off the horse when she decided to go out and party (we live in Vegas if that tells you anythng). Rather than recalculating her macros and adding some cardio to make up for the binge of beer, she got hard on herself and said screw it! I never did understand this all-or-nothing mindset we Americans have. It's almost as if we'd rather just sit and do nothing than strive for a goal. Why is something so wrong with making a mistake? Is it that the further we move from God and Faith, the more "perfection" becomes standard? The "if you can't do it right the first time, don't do it at all" philosophy.. well, it's bullshit in my book.
Fitness and weightloss is not about all or nothing. It's not about being perfect to achieve aesthetic perfection. The biggest losers in weight loss can probably admit that somewhere on their path, they strayed, then returned immediately.
Why not step off to the side of the road to smell the roses? Take a sniff and get back on your path; don't just give up and make a bed on the thorns!
