Stop Sabotaging My Fitness Goals!

Happy Thursday city peeps! We are more than halfway through the week, hooray! I hope everyone stays focused and strong until TGIF, beastmode style!

This post is inspired by my recent experience with people that sabotage instead of support my healthy lifestyle. At first, I didn't realize what was happening; I was skipping workouts and having cheat meals more than once a week. I wasn't meeting my fitness goals and it didn't feel right. What was happening? It wasn't like me at all. I started to take notice and realized I was being sabotaged! The saboteur turned out to be a master manipulator - it wasn't their first time - and loved to prey on my vulnerability. They knew I was tired after a long day of work and that I was having a sugar craving. Pure evil! I didn't stand a chance. In retrospect, it's easy to see how I succumbed to the negative pull of peer pressure. In a moment of weakness, my healthy efforts were seriously derailed.
