Let’s normalize this: Life will get busy. And sometimes, it gets so full that you might miss a planned week of workouts. Or meal prep goes out the window. 📆
A few years ago, this would have sent me into a spiral of “I’m off track” thoughts. But here’s what I’ve learned:
The goal isn’t perfection. It’s consistency over time.
That big work project, your best friend’s crisis, a needed mental health day, a family obligation—these aren’t “derailments.” They’re your life. And your fitness journey should exist WITHIN your life, not as a separate, punishing taskmaster.
So you missed the target this week? The goal is to not miss this week too? Try not to miss twice. 🤷♀️
The magic isn’t in never missing. The magic is in the comeback. Miss one session, don’t miss a second. Eat a takeaway, make the next meal balanced. Even a short workout or a better next meal helps to reinforce the positive habit loop that you are someone who takes care of their health, and you will achieve your goals. Keep missing workouts or grabbing on the go,foods and it can reinforce a negative habit loop that your that person who always falls off the track and will never lose the weight, run the mile or have a body they are confident in.
The true victory is getting back on plan, without guilt or self-judgment. It’s the decision to move and nourish your body simply because it feels good, not as punishment for “falling off.”
Your progress is not erased. Your strength is still there. Your discipline is measured in months and years, not a flawless week.
This is your reminder: Be kind to the person you are in this busy season. The gym, the mat, the class—they’ll be there when you get back. And you will get back.
