The Next 24 Hours




We each have goals.  We need to be able to see the big picture of what these goals are.  We need to imagine the finish line.  The finish line may be a long way off, so, how do we get there, without being discouraged?  How do we keep going, when the finish line seems so far away?

We keep our eye on the finish line, but we divert our focus to today!  What can I do today that will help me get to this goal?  What can I accomplish in the next 24 hours to help get me to where I want to be?  Sometimes we struggle to get through a day.  When that happens, it can be discouraging.  We have to remember, that even baby steps, are steps, and will get us to that finish line, if we just keep going.

Start small.  Don't try to totally change your life in one day!  That's impossible.  It may also lead to burn-out, which can make us give up.  Eat one more healthier food.  Say "No" to a dessert.  Walk a few more steps than you usually do.  These things, as small as they may seem, are huge steps!  These steps help to build momentum!  Once we have momentum, we want to keep going!  If we keep going, we reach our goals!

So, what are you going to accomplish in the next 24 hours?


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...
