My sister-in-law has been a source of inspiration lately. Around the same time I began this journey, she began one, too. She has walked for close to an hour every day for the past 33 days! It's a great reminder the importance of getting exercise and remaining persistent.
I tend to exercise pretty regularly...nearly every day. I am so thankful to have an elliptical machine here at home so there's no excuse for not using it regularly. Then again, exercise isn't where I have trouble being consistent and persistent...eating well is where I get into trouble. Today was one of those days where I seemed to be hungry even after having a good lunch. The chocolate on my secretary's desk kept calling my name...all those Reese's Peanut Butter Cups...Hershey Kisses...Mr. Goodbar...I kept saying, "No!" even though I stopped there more than once and even touched the shiny wrapped morsels. Thankfully, today, I was able to ask myself, "Will this help you reach your goal?" NO! Much better results for me than listening to the voices that were saying Just one...it's a small piece. I know for me, one piece leads to two, then three, and I stop counting. I count passing it up a victory!
What have your recent victories been? Be persistent!
