2 years ago this month things changed for me. I didn’t have a revelation, or a health scare, or a moment of social humiliation (at least no more than usual). I just finally made the decision that something needed to change.
About 3 years ago I made a decision in my life to live life to the fullest and quit making excuses. If I wanted to travel somewhere I was going to go. If I wanted to do something spontaneous I was going to do it. I wasn’t going to hide behind excuses and I wasn’t going to try and justify things with flawed logic. If I wanted to do something I just needed to say “screw it” and do it. Eventually it came to a crossroads where I had applied this to every part of my life except one.
Remember this guy?
Yeah me either.
2 years ago I hit that crossroads. I knew if something was going to change, and I was going to get into shape, I needed to say “screw it” and quit making excuses or trying to justify things with flawed logic as to why I couldn’t. And so I did.
I don’t want to sound like I am tooting my own horn here, but the thing I am most proud of is I did it the right now. There were no quick fix surgeries. There was no reality TV shows. There were no fad diets or magic pills. And there were no monetary rewards dangling there to try and motivate me. It was up to me to keep myself motivated for no other reason than I wanted to, that I wanted to see something different when I looked in the mirror. I made the commitment to healthy eating and exercise knowing if I really stuck with it, it would eventually pay off. I had seen friends of mine do it, and I knew I could to.
Awesome!! GO YOU! :o)
