Okay, maybe I didn't take a whole week off. But family was in town, the weather was awful and I took a few days off. Getting on the treadmill today literally took my breath away, and not in a good way.
There's something to be said about consistency. Our bodies crave it. And it goes both ways. Work hard consistently and your body will crave the exercise, the good food, the weight loss. But spend too many days in a row being a little bit lazier than usual, eating a little bit more than you should, and it doesn't take long for your body to start craving those things again.
The good news is that it doesn't take much to stay consistent, and it doesn't take perfection. Weight loss isn't about being perfect. It's just about being consistent enough to see results.
The other good news is, today is the first day of the rest of your journey toward a healthy life. No matter what, you can always start over.
So, today was just the beginning of a new chapter. A rocky beginning, but a beginning nonetheless.

Brilliant. I can't wait to hear more about your weight loss journey. Consistency really is the key...if only more people understood that! :)
