As this past week finally ended, I looked back and thought "Thank God!!" I hope the next week can be better. Then I remembered a recent email to me from a good friend, Wes Eugene, about his daily Mantra during his first 12 week challenge:
"Just for today, I will eat clean. Just for today, I will work out. Just for today!"
He went on to say to me, "Just for today, be a perfect Body-for-Lifer! Just for today, be an “A” student in Bill Phillip’s class!"
So, instead of me thinking "damn, this week...'x'"...I'm starting to think,just today. Worry about today and not tomorrow, or yesterday. Just today!
Yesterday I had one of the worst blow out eat-for-alls in a long time. I ate so much chocolate, I thought I was going to puke. That was yesterday.
Today, was amazing. My eating today...100% dead perfect clean! I didn't work out and may still not workout until the start of next week. My sacrum is feeling better but still painful to go from sitting to standing, especially getting out of my car, but it definately is incredibly better! YAY, I'm mending!!
So, to anyone having a bad time, create your own Mantra and refer back to Wes' thought of just for today, do your very best. Today will become tomorrow, and then tomorrow will become the next. But, just concentrate on the day at hand...on the meal at hand, and go from there.
Feel free to use my Mantra.....
Remember, NEVER GIVE UP!!!! We can all do this!!
PS: If you don't know who Wes Eugene is...keep your eyes and ears open. I think we will all hear his name a lot in the near future. Thanks Wes! You're the best!
