Dealing with Setbacks

Well, I have been struggling a bit the last week.  I have gained and lost the same three pounds and it is really annoying me.  I am okay with a simple plateau, but the constant fluctuation really gets to me.  Now the reason I am having issues is not a mystery.  I got off track on my eating and now I am paying the price.

Saturday, I was at a basketball tournament all day.  I pre-planned my meals, but when purchasing them at the grocery store I failed to do a quality check.  The salads were not okay and I ended up eating nothing more than a gluten-free cupcake (one of my athletes was celebrating a birthday).  The next day, I went out to breakfast and ate eggs, bacon, hash browns (evil white potatoes) and sourdough toast.  Way more than I need to eat for breakfast any day of the week.  For Sunday dinner I ate teriyaki chicken and rice (also a no-no).  Then on Monday, I ate a small blizzard and it was really good, but oh so bad for me.

I am back on track now.  Got my planned snacks/meals and am hitting the gym.  It takes time to recover from a misstep, but the important thing is to not give up.  Life happens and tomorrow is a new day.
