“When you have the right mindset, you can resist the things that tempt you to cheat on your walking program under the premise of I’ll get back to it tomorrow. One day won’t hurt, right? The problem with playing hooky on your walking goals is that it will only hurt you, not help you. It can be a slippery slope, leading to more and more days where you don’t reach your goal. Before you know it, you could be right back where you started in the first place.”
