Getting Over a Bump in the Road

Q: I've blown it! I've been enjoying the results I've seen since I started your program months ago. But I got really busy in the past couple of weeks and stopped eating right and exercising. I've almost regained everything I lost, and now I just want to give up! What should I do?

A: Okay, so you had a lapse. It happens. There's no time like the present to pick yourself back up! Start right this second. Don't dwell on your minor slip, but do learn from it. There's no doubt you'll get busy again, so prepare for such times! If you have to skip your spinning class, do some other activity to make up for it — say, walking to work. If you had a high-calorie lunch, have salad for dinner. Making these little substitutions will help keep you on track until you're able to return to your regular Fitness and Meal Plans! Don't give up!
