Wow!!!... How did 12 days just come and go like that? Goes to show that you can either do something (constructive) while time passes or continue the way you are... Time passes EITHER WAY!!! And why wouldn't we want to be closer to our goals than when we started?! We need to take each day and do a little bit each chance we get! WE are the only ones that can change US! Noone is going to come in and do it for us! If I am sitting on the couch when I could be walking around my neighborhood, it is because I am choosing to do so. OUCH! What a harsh reality. Why would ANYONE choose to look and feel the way I do?!?! And again, Wow!! The realizations are startling! Now, if I could just remember all of this the next time I don't wanna go to the gym, go to the park with Ethan, or go for a walk around the neighborhood, I will be golden!!!
So, I've been thinking... I bought The Eat-Clean Diet Companion when it first came out (copyright is 2009) but I never used it. It's just been sitting on my shelf, collecting dust, but not any longer. I have decided to use it! I have decided to bring it everywhere I go! I have decided to jot EVERYthing down, doodle all over it (if I want to), write down how I feel, etc. It's gonna be part of my testimony!!! I am excited... Monday is a new day, the start of a new week, and the start of a new month. I don't have any school and I will have TIME ON MY HANDS!!! I am SOOO excited to prove to myself that I can do what I say I am going to do. There have been so many times in the past that I have let myself down and then I feel like a complete and utter failure but I have decided to change that! I have also decided that I am going to declutter something in this house every day during the month of March!!! Then, on April 1st, I will have a garage sale to commemorate that decision! :) Anyone up to helping me price everything and set it all up? That's the part I am dreading but I am READY for it. This house has been cluttered for far too long.
Mark Twain once said, "The secret of getting ahead is getting started. The secret to getting started is breaking your complex, overwhelming tasks into small, manageable tasks, and then starting on the first one." Is that not the greatest thing you've ever "heard"!?!?... Well, I am taking that to heart and writing out my goals today and breaking them down into tiny, every day, doable ones.
Here's to our continued journey!...
So good Melissa. People can tell you all they want that you are overweight or not fit, but until you can say it to yourself it doesn't do anything. I like it. I will help with your garage sale if you want. Also, that quote from Mark Twain is sooooo good. I have never heard it before. I really like it! Keep it up girl!!
