Make TODAY your best!

sterlinggirl · 03-06-2013, 10:51 AM

Too many people go into life's journeys looking at the "big picture" the whole time. Knowing what you are in for and planning accordingly is great, but don't forget about today! Especially in health and fitness where the big picture really is nothing more than a series of consistent successful days.

Today I want you to remind yourself in a positive way why you are doing this fitness journey, and now with your goals are fresh in your mind, make today literally the BEST it can be towards those goals. Let yesterday stay in the past, let tomorrow stay in the future, focus on today and make THIS day a success!

Thanks Kimberly for sharing that wise advice!

"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."
Lao-Tze

Another oldie but goodie is, "Today is the first day of the rest of our lives." Each brand new day we get to ask ourself, "What can I do today to get one step ahead, however small, closer to achieving my goals?"

Melinda....Ive found that i miss the interactive part of my journey.. I read alot of posative posts on FB and really have no one in my life that is on a journey right now.. So i came back to where it all began.. so i could actually talk with those who are walking the walk just like me..~

You are a peach girl!

I'm really glad you're back! It's always wonderful to read encouraging posts, especially for those of us still in the throes of dealing with the rotten scale!

I know I fail miserably at maintenance and really think part of it (for ME) was that I always stopped posting in my journal & with my WL friends. I totally get what you're saying about needing the interaction and positive focus. I need to do the same thing forever more!

Great post thanks for sharing it.

Have to say I agree. Looking at the "big" picture can sometimes seem impossible (Especially with weight loss). It reminds me of a saying I've heard before. "How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time."

Yes so appropriate don't ya think? lol Well if that "said" elephant was made of red velvet cake forget bites! I'd inhale the darn thing. Sorry, I shouldn't get the whole yummies talk stirred up again.

ha, ha But truly, just taking it day by day really helps. And the fact of knowing that UD's are always just a day away!
