Iโve been on both sides of the spectrum with my journey. โฃ
โฃ
Iโve struggled with having zero motivation and a total lack of control over my food choices, and Iโve also struggled with having a bit too much control over my healthy lifestyle. โฃ

Not hitting 10 thousands steps on Christmas day. โฃ
โฃ
While this may seem silly, insignificant, or even a negative thing to share, for me it was a huge win. For the first time in a while, I was able to prioritize my family, my health, and my rest & recovery time, over a fitness goal. โฃ

One of the most important things I can share is that ๐ฉ๐ซ๐จ๐ ๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ฌ ๐ฅ๐จ๐จ๐ค๐ฌ ๐๐ข๐๐๐๐ซ๐๐ง๐ญ ๐๐จ๐ซ ๐๐ฏ๐๐ซ๐ฒ๐จ๐ง๐. โฃ

For some people, progress may be saying no to the pizza night out with friends. โฃ
But for others, progress may actually be going for the pizza and enjoying a slice, free of guilt. โฃ
โฃ
And chances are at points in your journey, it will be both of those. โฃ
โฃ
Discipline can be a very helpful tool to build up health habits and routine over time. But I also want to encourage you that part of living and sustaining a healthy lifestyle also includes finding flexibility within our discipline. โฃ

And thatโs okay. In fact, itโs perfectly normal, healthy, and part of the process to have those days.
โฃ
What matters most is how we choose to handle those moments. โฃ
How we are able to give ourselves grace, remove the guilt, and just get right back on track. โฃ
โฃ
There is a whole lot more to life than just living a healthy lifestyle. โฃ
