At some point we all fail, but don't let that failed attempt get in the way of your goals. Babe Ruth struck out 1330 times throughout his 22yrs in Major League Baseball. The fear/possibility of striking out didn't stop him from being one of the greatest baseball players of all time. Just as your failed attempts at a goal shouldn't stop you from being the best version of yourself.

Throughout your fitness journey you will have ups and downs, failures and successes. Embrace those failures as a learning tool. They teach us what works for us and what doesn't. One week you might lose 2-3lbs and the next you might gain a pound or two. They are not road blocks but rather bits of education and guidance that direct us toward the correct path in our efforts in achieving our goals.

Evaluate your successes as much as you pounder on your failures. Keep a journal and track your nutrition, your workouts, your sleeping patterns, your stress levels throughout the day, how much water you drink, etc. Record how you felt after each day or each workout out. Did you feel strong, tired, weak, hungry, not hungry, etc. Score each day on a scale of 1-10 or 1-5 which ever works best, with 1 being a BAD day and 10 or 5 being a GREAT day! With a journal you will have a better understanding as to why you may or may not have reached your weekly goals. It will help prevent plateaus and provide you with the ability to change something up if needed so that you are constantly challenged.
