Is Failure Part of the Process?

I've been trying to figure out how or what to post for the last few days.  It's never easy admitting failure.  As much as I don't personally know anybody who reads this blog it's still hard to publicly admit mistakes you have made.   I have been so confident and positive during this process and I can honestly say I don't know what happened.  I didn't have any rational reason for breaking my routine.  I had one bad day which I tried to get past.  Next day started out well and then went to shit and for what ever reason I was not able to rebound and get back into my plan.  I have no excuse which is the worst and most embarrassing part.  Generally people would say work, life or some type of significant incident caused you to derail but I have none of that.   When I was a kid if a crashed my bike or was doing something and got hurt my dad would say "Pick yourself up, dust yourself off and try again."  I will take that advice to heart as an adult and pick myself up, dust myself off and try again.  I am still down 10 pounds from my original start weight so that is a positive.  Round 2 starts now!
