Weight Loss Diary #36: Healthy Happy 2010 - Get Back on the Wagon

"Start this new year off with a fresh, clean slate. The past does not define you, the present does. You have unlimited health and wealth waiting for you to claim it. Get busy this year — no excuses!" -- JM

I think this happened to most poeple: over-indulged over the holidays, missed a few workouts. Now we have to face the setback and get back on the wagon. And after all, there are no mistakes, just learning experiences. Weight loss is a process — it takes time. You will encounter small failures — everyone does. And if you miss a workout, it's not the end of the world! Get to the gym the next day and continue to focus on your short-term goals. Just because you made bad choices today doesn't mean you can't start over tomorrow. New day? New beginning.
