Every Day Is A New Day

It was character that got us out of bed, commitment that moved us into action, and discipline that enabled us to follow through. - Zig Zigler

I have a confession. I'm great at starting at horrible at the follow through. A lack of discipline and a short attention span that rivals the lack of inches in my physical height I feel are to blame. Some people build up this great forward momentum, change their lives, achieve great heights and sometimes I wonder, especially when it comes to my physical appearance goals, why I can't seem to make things stick.

But I know the answer. I know it's because I get gung ho about making huge changes to my diet and exercise and start full force forgoing the fact that I actually have to live my multifaceted life that doesn't have room for just one single focus day in and day out. No, I have a company to run, a fiance to love, a family to spend quality time with and friends who actually want me to be present.

These changes I make, I have to be able to not just stick to the diet that I know is good for me and fit in the exercise that I know I need, they have to change the way I live my life and make my choices. They have to shift my paradigm. I have to make changes that work for my life and keep me happy.

I'm good with loose rules and daily goals that don't have to be done by a certain time but I need to set limitations to remind myself not to step beyond the realm of moderation.

I think I've developed a personal diet that I can stick to and tomorrow I'll start to take all of you along on that journey.
