Cut the CRAP!!
Please, no one get offended. If you get offended easily stop reading now. I tend to be very opionated and very blunt, so I am sorry if this is insensitive.
I know I haven’t blogged a lot lately, but I still read a lot of them. I read a lot about dissapointments with ourselves because we don’t stick to our plans. We binge, we don’t do our workouts, all sorts of stuff. I know how this feels cause I have used those excuses myself so many times. And every time I did my diet failed. I have been fighting this extra weight my entire life and not winning the fight.
This time is different. It is different because my mindset has changed. Amazingly enough this is way more of a mental fight than a physical one. This time I told myself that there are NO excuses that are really valid. “One last time” isn’t acceptable. I know I am accountable to my buddies here and the group challenges I am in, but the person that I am really accountable to is ME. If I fail, the only person I am really letting down is myself. And damnit, I am tired of letting myself down. So this time, I REFUSE to accept excuses from myself.
I have a plan, it involves daily calorie allowances and excercise requirements. I know I have not been totally perfect, but I also know the days that I have failed,I did it deliberatly. I let something else control me, and that is just crap.
As individuals we don’t have a lot of control in this world. We can’t control global issues, the ecomony, or even life itself. Life is always gonna throw us curve balls. The questions is do we let those curve balls control us or do we decide how we are gonna react to them? I propose, WE DECIDE. The only thing in life that we really have control over is our actions. We can’t always control our emotions, but we CAN control our actions.
So folks . . . my advice to you today is to CUT THE CRAP!! Take control of yourselves and your actions and make yourself accountable to YOU and then just DO IT!! Sounds easier than it is, but it is doable. I know, cause I have done it. January was a perfect month for me, I never missed a workout and every day stayed within my daily points allowance. I am not a person who has ever had much self dicipline, which means that anyone can do it. Including you. So just do it already!!
