Leading by Example?

I tried my hardest to make the 1215 wod in motown yesterday but didn't even get to leave my cube from when i got there in the morning until after 1pm. Needless to say, tuesday was pretty stressful for me at work (and trying to reduce stress is one of my goals) - so what do i do for lunch - ate 6 slices of pizza (company bought lunch for a seminar i could not attend). you read correctly - 6 SLICES! Wow - what a mental lapse. Not only did i immediately regret my decision because I know that eating that crap will not help me achieve my BCF goal of getting stronger - but after finishing the last slice i told myself that i had to tell you guys - and that was an even crummier feeling. So after mulling about it for the remainder of the day - i realized that the best thing to do would be to use this slight setback positively. i am not proud of what i did - waking up this morning definitely reminded me of that - but getting up, brushing oneself off, restarting back on track, and continuing in one's original direction is as valuable a lesson as any. One week down - seven to go. There will be setbacks - just get back up and keep on truckin'

Post comments on what you got out of yesterday's recovery lecture
