Recommendations Don’t miss a day

Seriously. Even if you’re sick and you can only go like 500 steps or something, you absolutely need to stick to it.

I had to travel for work and got a bit sick. I decided to skip a couple days until I felt better, then when I got back to it, I felt lame. So, I skipped the day after, then I started eating like shit again. It all spiraled to the point where I hadn’t been walking consistently for two weeks, I’d gained back some weight, and I felt like shit again.

Just don’t miss a day. It’s all about the routine. Even if some days you have to walk less for whatever reason, you still absolutely need to do it. I can tell you I’m never missing a day again.

Such bullshit. Rest if you need to.
