"Cheat Weeks"

So... I'm sitting with my best friend the other night who is trying to get himself back into shape and while joking after eating fast food two days in a row, he says "I'm allowed to have cheat weeks". It was funny at the time but soon after I thought of how much that resonated with me that I find myself falling into bad trends that last a week or so until I get myself back on track. Be it getting too busy, lazy, or other reasons... we struggle to stay consistent.

So how do we combat these trends? Cheat weeks? Ok...lets be realistic. Cheat days are normal.... and realistic but it is probably not going to be helpful to your long term goals to let it become more than a day here and there. When here and there days start running together and become cheat days or weeks... its time to reevaluate. How do you keep yourself on track and away from falling into back habits?

We all get to that point where we begin to question ourselves. This usually happens when one faces major obstacles in one’s life. Usually when someone reaches this point it is time to bring about change.

People who hit the wall begin to lose confidence in their abilities and question the direction their life is moving. When reaching this stage, it is imperative that you persevere and keep moving forward. No matter how difficult times may seem, it can always be worse.
