You will feel better about yourself if you learn to create habits and rituals that promote healthy eating and exercise. Success is a far better feeling than guilt. There is joy in discipline.
Here's a great example. Last night in Barcelona, I had a big dinner of roast suckling pig and some grilled squid appetizers. I also had 3 glasses of Spanish wine. (This was all at the fantastic Tragaluz restaurant - http://www.grupotragaluz.com/en/restaurants/tragaluz/)
But those were my limits. My rule is no more than 3 drinks. And I was full, so I didn't have dessert. I listened to my gut, so to speak.
By sticking to these habits, I avoided an extra glass of wine that would have left me with headache. I also avoided 300-500 calories of gelato (that I would not have truly enjoyed) and an overstuffed belly.
These wise decisions helped make this morning a great start. I'm ahead of schedule while some others are running behind.
Get your habits. Make your rules. And you will succeed.
Here's another good habit:
Skip the useless treadmill warm-up. This total body warm-up is way better (it's also exactly what I do before almost every workout)

Today's Kickbutt Mindset Tip:
Who you know is more important than what you know because WHO you know will teach you WHAT you need to know.
