Fuck it man, indulge, it’s not the end of the world ya know?
You’re too tired to brush your teeth before bed one night you don’t stop brushing your teeth forever.
It’s okay to mess up, just get back on track the next day. It’s not all or nothing, it’s not a short-term fad die, it’s a lifestyle change, for life.
If your CICO was a line graph and yesterday was normal, today was a big spike, and tomorrow was normal, none of that shit matters when you look at the line over the length of a year of good habits.
You won’t even be able to see this one-off, single-day spike, blip, what have you. It’s a drop of water in the middle of the ocean.
Let yourself make mistakes, just acknowledge it was not the norm, and learn from it. If you bastardize failure you’re setting yourself up to fail harder due to unrealistic expectations, unsustainability, etc.
So I say fuck it. Blow your CICO up today. Just do right by yourself for the rest of the week.
Yeah, this is what I’m trying to get better at. Same with hitting lower than my PR one day at the gym. Fortunately I can graph all of the above thanks to a few apps I like and it’s easy to see that history is full of misses while the trend is still overwhelmingly upward. Gotta remind myself better of that kind of thing everywhere in life.
