Getting back on the horse

"Nobody's perfect"
It's a phrase most of us have heard a thousand times. As we would grow up and make mistakes people around us would say - " Don't worry, Nobody's perfect."

As I have been trying to lose weight I have learnt that I am definitely not perfect. Don't get me wrong - I never thought I was perfect before this, however this journey has really brought my faults into focus...

Another phrase we are all intimately familiar with is to "get back on the horse".
When I was younger this always confused me; why would Mum tell me to 'get back on the horse'? I hadn't fallen off a horse, nor did we even own a horse! As I have gotten older I have learnt the true meaning of this saying/phrase - don't give up and keep trying.

This week I feel I have fallen off that imaginary horse. How that decent started? I'm not 100% sure. I just know through out this last week I have not been as strict with myself and have let my diet especially slide.
On one hand I have increased my exercise.
On the other hand I feel I had one or two 'binge' days. I didn't eat junk (chips or chocolate) but binged on salmon and cuppa-soup, and allowed myself small treats like a small piece of cake that I really shouldn't of eaten...
On top of this I haven't been taking my Herbalife everyday nor even eating regularly!

So I feel this wasn't the best week for me. Eating regularly is very important for weight loss and what I feel will probably be my down fall this week. So as I head off this morning to my weigh-in I am sort of dreading those scales for the first time. How ever no matter what they say I am going to 'get back on the horse' this week and re-focus myself.

I am not doing this because it is easy, i am doing this because I need to become healthier if I want to have a long and full life.
What about you? Have you ever done something that wasn't 'easy', but that was either good for you or the right thing to do? Would love to hear your stories in the comments below.

Thanks for reading everybody.
