Accomplishing Great Things


 


"To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; we must not only plan, but also believe." - Anatole France

These are perfect words for our journey!  After all, what are we doing?  We are accomplishing great things!  Every positive thought; every ounce lost; every step we take; every positive choice we make - these are all great accomplishments!  In the end, these accomplishments will take us to our greatest accomplishment!  We will reach our goal!

Yes, we have to act!  We have to work.  We have to do whatever it takes to get there!  All of us dream, but a dream alone, will not get us where we want to be.  It takes more than a dream.  It takes action on our part!

In this journey, we do have to plan.  We have to plan our meals.  We have to have a plan for our points through the day - through the week.  We have to plan our exercise routines.  We have to plan to make the best choices. We have to plan for saying "No" if the time comes.  Putting our plan into action is a step toward the dream!

Most of all, we have to believe!  We have to believe we can do this.  We have to believe in ourselves!  We have to believe in each other, and encourage each other!

Remember these things.  If we act; if we dream; if we plan; and if we believe, we CAN and we WILL accomplish great things!


Always remember – YOU ARE AWESOME!  Go out and make it a great day!

Decisions! Decisions!

 Every day, all of us have to make decisions - what to wear, where to go, what to do, what to eat, and probably many more decisions.  More often than not, I struggle with decisions.  Some days I go through 2-3 outfits before I make a decision.  I'm often involved in the conversation of "Where do you want to go?" "I don't know, where do you want to go?" I am an "over-thinker," and sometimes, I think that makes it even more difficult to make the decision.  There are times that I wish someone else would just make decisions for me! I just got back from vacation, and I had a very difficult time making decisions - food decisions.  A few years ago, my boyfriend and I went on vacation, and we were both on diets.  We went to this famous restaurant, and didn't want to cheat, so we didn't eat anything that we "shouldn't" eat.  That was over four years ago, and we still talk about how we will never do that again.  It bothere...

Celebrate Your Wins

Celebrations are so much fun!  There are not enough celebrations in our lives!  Only we can change this! We each have big goals that will take a while to accomplish.  What we need to think about, is that we accomplish smaller goals every day, that lead us to accomplishing our main goal.  Did you eat better today?  Did you drink more water?  Did you take more steps?  Did you weigh in, and the number on the scale go down?  Did you fit into a smaller size in clothes?  Did you feel good today?  Did you like the person that you saw in the mirror?  Were you proud of yourself today? Those are only a few examples of ways that we win each day!  Celebrate your wins!  Be proud!  Post them for others to see!  Congratulate others on their wins!  Celebrating these wins will make our goals seem attainable!  Celebrating with others has a positive impact, for them, but also, for yourself! Take time to ce...

I'm Just Not Feeling It Today

I'm just not feeling it today.  The alarm clock goes off, and you don't want to get up.  You force yourself to get out of bed, but you just want to crawl back in.  You see yourself in the mirror, bed-head and all, and you think to yourself that it just takes way too much effort to get in the shower, to get dressed, to brush your hair, etc.  You decide it all can wait.  You make your way to the couch, and turn on the TV.   In the back of your mind, you may be thinking that you need to get up and exercise.  Maybe you need to do laundry, or go to the store.  You quickly push those thoughts aside.  The next thing you know, you have binge-watched 5 hours of Netflix, maybe even mindlessly eating.  You are suffering from a serious lack of motivation. Have this ever been you?  I'm guilty.  I've had days like this where my fitness tracker didn't track over 500 steps for the whole da...
