It matters not how slow you go...as long as you do not stop.
One day a couple of years ago I took a side trip on a hike. A BIG side trip...added a big climb. One the map it didn't look so...mountain.
Anyway, at the bottom, in the shade, was a picnic table where I stopped and ate my lunch. This was carved into the table.
It does not matter how slow you go, as long as you do not stop.
The "days off" are like stopping to eat my lunch at that table.
I stop and enjoy the view, but I know that I'm going to continue...and continue STRONG.
Unlike lunch on a hike, I don't *need* to have a cheat day, or even a cheat meal. Or maybe, in order to not feel as if I can NEVER have my favorites again...
In order to "do not stop" - maybe some of us do need to have that "break" once in a while.
I have determined this - I'm no longer going to beat myself up over it. I'm going to get up from the bench, pack up my stuff, put my pack back on...and keep going...no matter how slow it seems.
