Fit4Change Blog: The “Setback”

Fit4Change Blog Day ___ of 48

The scale didn’t lie — but I didn’t have to Iike what it told me.

UP two pounds.

Damn.

Between that and the leftover green gunk coming out of my lungs, I walked off the field a little discouraged. (And a little out of breath)

A week of traveling and a respiratory infection caught up with me.

It was, plain and simply, a setback.

But I’ll run 15-18 miles this weekend. I’ll eat well and do yoga. The two pounds will melt back off as quickly as I put them on. This isn’t a time to panic. It’s a time to remember that a healthy lifestyle is a marathon, not a sprint. It isn’t fad diets or pills. It’s making good choices day in and day out.

That’s pretty good advice for life, to be honest. A setback isn’t a sign you should quit. It’s a pause that allows you to refocus on your journey.

Have a great weekend!
