A Year from Now....

I sat in a Weight Watchers meeting the other day and I realized I had been there last year at this time......not good. Not good because in that year's time, I had actually managed to GAIN weight rather than lose it. Never again. It's been a good day. I am getting the hang of this and feeling happy with the control that I feel, and the fact that I am eating SO much better. I am going to concentrate on living every day, rather than waiting(weighting) to start my life when I feel better about my body. The first step is having a plan, and as important is loving who I am right now. Seems trite, and it is certainly not a novel idea...but I think it is the key to success.

Living...

Living is a good word. It is really what IT is all about. I mean, the only alternative I can think of is a fairly gloomy thought. But....do we really LIVE every day? I don't. Today, right now, this very moment, is really all we have. Wow...heavy thoughts, but in thinking about this journey that I am on....it is a good one to keep in mind. It feels overwhelming to think about how far I have to go. But when I think about time in the past, it seems unbelievable how fast time goes. Each day, each 'right now' accumulates at an alarming rate of speed. So if I can corral this 'right now' and make good choices along the way, then I will have a moment in the future when I can say,  "Wow...I did it!" But I want to be aware of "Living" every day, and enjoy this time for what it is.

Today is the day. We say that a lot don't we. Today I will start my diet....today I will exercise more. Today I will follow through on that project that I started(last year). And maybe we DO start, maybe we DO move...but then something happens and the motivation slips and we are back to that well trod road that has lead us here in the first place.

    SO the purpose of this little blogspot is to share our journey together. Are you ready to start living everyday without regrets and with motivation and purpose? I know I am. I am going to be like the turtle, "slowly but surely"....I have tried other methods, and they don't seem to have much longevity. So baby steps my friends, small conscious efforts to create a NEW road of health and well being. Let's go!!!
