Can you believe this is the last full week in August, with Labor Day two short weeks away? Most of you are back from your summer vacations, and some of you are already back in the swing of things with school schedules. After the busy days of summer, settling back into a more regular routine can feel good.
This is the time of year when settling into a more regular routine can also mean refocusing on weight loss and a healthy lifestyle. Best intentions often fall by the wayside with summer vacations, but late August is the perfect time to take a deep breath and get going again.
If you've done well all summer and made it through the BBQ's unscathed, give yourself a big pat on the back! Staying on plan means that you've not been willing to settle for immediate gratification, and it also means that you're that much closer to your goal :-).
If you are one of the many who found themselves faltering from time to time over the summer, this is a great time to start again in earnest! The holidays are four months away (Christmas Eve is four months from today!!), and you can make a LOT of progress between now and then! Imagine yourself feeling confident for all of those holiday photos - it can happen!
Don't beat yourself up over what you did or didn't do this summer, and don't waste time bemoaning where you COULD have been if you'd stayed on plan. It doesn't matter now - it's in the past. The only thing that matters is what you decide to do TODAY. If you decide today that you're going to stay on plan, you will take that first important step towards your goal. Go for it!
Have a great Monday! Who's committed to an on-plan day today?
