Health and fitness resolutions aren’t really that hard…except when they are. “Normal” days can be pretty easy — there’s a routine and expectations are met.
And then Miami happens.
I’m in Miami for the next few days for work. There’s a convention with other professionals from my industry. And conventions lead to socializing, and parties, and open bars…in Miami. And it is Super Bowl Sunday.
So, I’m hoping that this formula is going to work:
A couple of drinks every day + working out every day = staying on track
I’m doing pretty well on my weight loss challenge, and I know that I really want to stay on track. But these kinds of things are always going to come up in life: birthday parties, holidays, special occassions. I want to enjoy those, and that means having some desserts and drinks and foods cooked with lots of butter. But enjoying those makes me feel like I’m cheating on my resolution. I really wish I could change this mindset, because I don’t think that is a particularly healthy or sustainable way to approach life.
If you have any thoughts on this — tips, mindsets, etc. — I’d love to hear. This is my first big challenge during my fitness resolution, and I could use some help.
