“The person who makes a success of living is the one who sees his goal steadily and aims for it unswervingly. That is dedication.” ~ Cecil B. De Mille
When working to attain the weight loss goals I am aiming for, DEDICATION is the key word. You get what you put into it. I have to remind myself of this sometimes. It is so easy to stray, there are times when just relaxing or eating that cupcake would be a much more rewarding option. In the long run though, its a short lived gratification. The guilt will set in that I wasn't more active or the pounds will keep piling on.
While its not always the most glamorous or most fun option, healthy eating and exercise is a necessity in my life. I was not born with a super fast metabolism or never ending legs with rock hard abs, these things take work for me (well lets be honest the never ending legs will never happen).
I guess really all I am saying is that MOST of us need to work to maintain a healthy body weight and healthy eating. The options put out in the world for us make the contrary so easy. Stand behind your will power and dedication to a healthier, more fit you!!!
"The only place where success comes before work is in the dictionary." ~Attributed to both Vidal Sassoon and Donald Kendall.
Yes, I did do my abdominal workout today, and while I am still feeling the burn while doing it, it has become something I enjoy. It means that my muscles are still there and have not disappeared into the abyss. So if you are struggling to stay on track, know that you are not the only one out there struggling, it is an everyday battle for me. I think of how good I will feel next summer running down the beach Baywatch style, lol.
