This is a simple saying that I can say with honesty. NOBODY is perfect and NO ONE will ever be. Why do I choose to beat myself up trying to be perfect? It's not worth the time or effort, I could be using it toward making progress. I am happy today because I set a goal of holding myself accountable with my diet and exercise program. So far, so good. By no means was I perfect the past week, but I did stick to the plan; the plan being track my food and my exercise.
This is better than I have ever done in the past. Progress, not perfection. I have been able to get to the gym 5 days the past week and kept within my calorie range to lose weight. In the past, I was only able to track things for 3 days at a clip and not put my exercise into the equation. I have been using a heart rate monitor for my actual calories burned and plugging that into the program online, along with every bite of food I consume every day.
The only way I can continue to try to achieve my goal, is to keep holding myself accountable for the decisions I make. If I mess up, I can't beat the hell out of myself, that will not help me progress. I need to look at the good I have done and pick myself up, brush off the mistake and keep moving forward. Today is another day to make more progress.
"Don't dream it, be it."
