Life is about moderation. Moderation must be calculated over long periods of time. We might workout 5 days in a week and feel like a super hero, and then the next week we eat out with clients 3 times and only make it to the gym twice. In a workout routine and a quest for healthy eating, as in life, there will be hiccups and triumphs. Once you can accept that, it's easier to remember the successes and try to repeat them.
My case in point is last week morphing into the weekend. I managed to run run three times. I had my yoga high. I actually ran on consecutive days, one of them outside. Those were proud moments. Then I had a weekend with beer and pizza and birthday cake. Good times, yes. Let there be no doubt about that. But Monday morning rolled around and now I am feeling a bit sloth-like. Am I gonna beat myself up? No. Am I gonna get back on track? Oh yes.
Today I'm avoiding food excess. Tonight, I'm going to a new workout class "yoga for abs." I don't know what to expect. I am hoping I can get a piece for my column out of it. Nonetheless, I'm still moving forward.
Keep on keepin' on.

Really good post - I guess just like with a diet, you're way better with a moderate plan that's a life change, than a short lived "crash" plan.
