52 weeks of bodily bliss... week 5: Say "I DO" to YOU!!!!!

Week 5, stepping into the 2nd month 

Are you still on your plan; exercising and making small efforts, every day, to improve your life?

If so, kudos to you and just keep on doing it.  

If not WHY? 

Time for a check-in [with yourself].

Check in, to check on...and, keep moving forward.

For those of you who are already off track, and have a colorful bouquet of reasons why you 'just can't do it,' it is time to get a little hard on yourself.  Lets start making a list of all the reasons why you cant, why you simply just can't.

I HAVE bee there, I get there at times, not so much in the realms of fitness, but in other, not-yet-mastered areas of my life.  It can be challenging, and takes real strength, effort, and commitment to change to keep on peeling the payers off the reality of our selves, and want to expose the perfection that lies underneath it all.  Regardless of what we find on the way there....

So what separates the hot bodied 40 some mommy of 3, with killer legs, abs etc, from the one who can't seem to stop worrying about her weight long enough to whip up a healthy meal?

Their commitment to doing whatever it takes to achieve and live their goal!!!

Time to get a pen and paper out and begin writing...

Why did you stop on your way, what caused you to lose focus? It's OK, we all get that way, but let's re-track and revise:

Is is a bad day at work? 

Is it a fight with your sweetheart? (What you don't have a sweetheart??? Something is terribly wrong with you ;)  KIDDING!!!!!!!)

Is it you got burnt out?

Is it you got tired?

Is it that you thought your body was going to change over night?

Start listing your reasons, why you may not be following your plan. 

Paint YOUR perfect picture on what is going on - for you. 

It is your life, no matter how foggy the picture at times can seem, at the end of the day, or if you need longer, the next day, or the week after, you will have to make peace with the idea that your life is your friend, it is here for you to do whatever you want with it.  You are born to shine and succeed.  Get the light back in front of you and move towards it.

Remember your goal, remember the reasons you set out the path.  Check your downfalls and weak areas? Find where you need help.  Do you need a nutritionist, a trainer, a training plan, a coach?  You will need something or someone who can see you through your path darling. 

Now get back onto it.  List the reasons you strayed, find the exact help you need, go for it today.  MAke the call, send the email, book the appointment, and follow through. Get back on track!!!!  Commit to you, say your "I DO" to you.  To the best IN you.  

Until next time, check in to keep checking on ....
