Conga-Lime Pork

Ready to Get Back on Track
I had some trouble this past weekend. In fact, one could say I completely fell off track. Over the long holiday weekend we went on vacation, and as hard as I tried to choose healthy and P90x friendly meals, it was the alcohol that got me. And I knew this would be trouble for me. As often as I've read about doing the "traveling workout" I had decided ahead of time that I wasn't going to make it a priority. I had gone away for the weekend to have fun and that was going to be my goal.
I decided that I would skip my workout Friday since we would be traveling that day, Saturday would be my regular rest day, skip Sunday's workout, but make it up on my regular rest day on Tuesday. I would workout Monday when we returned. So I'd really only be missing Friday's workout. It all sounded like a good plan to me. Well, as you probably imagined, my plan didn't quite hold up so well. When we returned I was so exhausted I knew my body wouldn't hold up for a workout. I needed all of Tuesday to get my motivation and body back to working normally.
So, here we are today, Wednesday, a whole 5 days later from a 5 day p90x vacation. And of course I feel guilty, but what can I do? I wouldn't trade my weekend for anything and worst case scenario, I fall back by one week on my program. I could always make it up by not taking a recovery week, making last weekend my recovery week and moving straight into Phase 3. Or, I could take off those 5 days, jump back in today and keep pushing through it. Either way, I have not given up on my commitment to the program.
So, what's the point? Why did I write about this? The point is, everyone, even the most committed, can fall off track with their diet and exercise program, but the important thing is that you don't give up on it. You will have setbacks along the way, but don't throw away all your previous efforts for one weekend of indiscretion. Get back up and get back on and finish it out. We've passed the halfway point in this program and the end is nearing. There's no reason to stop now!
