Falling Short of Goals

Remember, goals are not inflexible roadblocks meant to make you feel badly about yourself. If you don't accomplish a goal exactly on schedule, so what? You can't predict what life is going to throw your way — but you CAN choose the way you react to situations that come up. That is where your power lies. If you fall off the wagon, just get back on —  no ifs, ands, or buts about it.

Ways to De-stress

When you are stressed out at night and can't sleep, get up and write down all the things that are bothering you and how you might fix them. This gets the problems off your mind and calms you down because you know you have a game plan. Some other ways to de-stress include learning to meditate, getting a massage, taking a vacation, and most important, exercising! Whatever you do, please do not take any over-the-counter "adrenal support" supplements ― you could actually do more harm than good. De-stress naturally instead!

Stick with Strick!

Resist becoming lax about calories just because you exercise, and resist becoming lax about exercise just because you’re cutting calories.
