Rockiesfan posted a good motivating journal today (thanks for that) and it got me thinking while I was out walking at lunchtime. Nothing new or original here, but just that our mindset is so critical to whether or not we succeed in reaching our goals. We come up with an eating/exercise plan that works for us, but unless we focus on it with purpose and work that plan, we won't get where we want to be.
For a while I've been less than fully focused. I've gotten lazy with working out, while I walk every day I've stopped doing my heavier cardio and resistance work. I tend to pick and munch here and there with food which often brings my calorie intake higher than I want it to be. While I feel and look much better than I did a year ago, I'm not where I want to be...the only way I'll get there is if I do what's needed to get there. When I do get there - and I WILL get there - I'll feel and look even better and can take pride in having achieved what at one time I thought was impossible. Do I want to get there badly enough to put out the effort required to finish the journey? YES!!
So I'm making a commitment here to really focus on reaching my initial goal of 190lbs, also knowing I will very likely set a new goal at that point. I'll work harder at sticking to my planned foods for the day, and beginning today I'll go back to making my best effort towards meeting my cardio and strength training goals (one or the other 6 days a week). All I need to do is set my mind to it, be focused and dedicated on getting it done, and DO it. We can all do what we need to do if we focus our minds on the task and just do it, one day at a time.
