Even Coaches have "off" days

I have a pretty demanding full-time job and this week, my partner-in-crime (the guy that works with me in the email program) is on Spring Break. So I'm basically doing the work of two people this week and it's been crazy!

Monday I worked 10 hours.

Tuesday I worked the usual 8 hours but then Tuesday night I got a last-minute voiceover job (I do voiceover work on the side). And the project needed to be turned in by Wednesday morning. So I ended up doing that right after work and through dinner.
Which means that yesterday (Tuesday) I did not workout.

**GASP** SHOCKING!

Yes, even Coaches can have an "off" day sometimes.

We all have busy lives and sometimes... life just happens.

But here is what makes the difference - how quickly we get back on track.

Today I started my day with Shakeology and right now, I'm jumping right back in with my 21 Day Fix workout.

This could be a time where I could easily beat myself up and start letting negative thoughts go through my head.  But my own Coach has a great analogy for this.

So..if you get a flat tire, you immediately fix it so you can get back on the road, right?  Well when you have a minor setback,  you should do the same thing because if we let negative thoughts say things like "well, I messed up so I guess I'll just go totally off-program and eat a bag of chips for dinner."  If we do what those negative thoughts are saying, then we are essentially slashing the other three tires of our car after experiencing the one flat tire.  And that makes NO sense, right?
Exactly!

So right now, I am putting the spare tire on, and I'm getting back on the road.

Let's roll.
