Be Able to Pick Yourself Back Up

In the wise words of Thomas Wayne, “Why do we fall? So we can learn to pick ourselves back up.” You will fall. You will cheat on this diet. Nobody is perfect. You have to realize that. This is a learning curve. You will get to know your body an what foods or drink have what effects on it. You know you will be seeing family or friend eventually or that the holidays are coming each year, so don’t worry we are all human and will mess up from time to time. But, the key is knowing how to pick ourselves back up. The next day, drink lots of electrolytes and eat some beef with salt. Simple as that.

When I would fall off, like this last Christmas, I hated how I felt in the morning. I had two options. Feel depressed and upset with myself which would probably lead to being lazy and ultimately eating some sort of junk food, or I could eat a good piece of beef like a steak and drink my electrolytes and just say, “Hey that’s life and move on.” I recommend the latter. You have to just learn from your mistakes. Like Vince Lombardi used to say, “"Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence.” We must always remember that and keep striving for a better day than the one before. But just remember, that yesterday is in the past and today I can change.
