Can you take a break from your exercise/nutrition routine?

Let me answer this with another question.  Do you take a break from life?  Do you take a break from breathing?  The answer to these questions is a definate, "NO!"  I have been in this business for 4 years and was just featured in the national news in an article about baby boomers and their effect on the fitness industry.  Every single time someone I am training tells me they are taking a short break and will come back next month, 2 months from now or so on, it doens't happen.  I help people get a new healthy life style which needs to be addressed everyday.  If you find yourself saying this, just know you are setting yourself up for a huge setback.  You may gain several pounds in a short period of time and then want to stop trying after that.  How much do you value your health?  That is the real question.  Your loved ones want you around a long time.  Don't you think you owe it to them to do everything you can to be there?
