What Do You Consider Success?

What do you consider success? Do you think that success is reaching your main goal?

I look at success differently. I will consider goal, when I hit it, a huge success, but I consider reaching many smaller goals, successes, also. I consider every ounce that I lose, a success. Every time that I exercise, is a success. Every time that I go down a size in clothes, is a success. Every day that I stay within the program, is a success. Every time that I do something that I was unable to do before, is a success.

If we focus only on the end goal, and don't appreciate and celebrate our smaller successes, success seems so far in the distance. Success is right in front of us. Most of us have many successes along the way. We should appreciate every single one of them. We should celebrate every single one of them. We should also help others celebrate their successes! Each and every success that we have, is an important step in this journey! Each step gets us closer to our goal. Just imagine what a wonderful success that will be!

Always remember – YOU ARE AMAZING! 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...

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...

Fear, Determination And Results

Fear says, "No you can't." Determination says "Yes you can." Results say "I told you so!" When someone tells you that you can't do something, how does it make you feel? Do you believe them? Does it make you doubt yourself, and your ability to accomplish your goal? If you believe you can't do something, you probably can't. Fear can be paralyzing. What if you try and you fail? What will people think? How will you feel? Do you give up before you even get started? Personally, I hate when someone tells me that I can't do something. I am stubborn. It makes me determined to prove them wrong. Even if I am scared, and am doubtful as to whether I can do it or not, I'll be damned if someone is going to tell me I can't. In my case, determination will win over fear every time. Determination is much stronger than fear. Determination tells you that you c...
