Life is full of twists and turns. You never know what is
going to come your way and derail you from everything; not just health and
fitness. However, success comes from picking yourself up from these challenges
and moving forward. True success comes from turning these challenges into opportunities
and executing on them.
I cannot say I have done this too well. I typically get
going, fall, dust myself off, walk it off, and try to get going again. The last
2 years have been one fall after another and I have spiraled further and
further down the rabbit hole. Realization is only part of the path to move
forward; acceptance and moving passed this is the other piece. I have made one
excuse after another, and never fully accepted everything. I have now and
cannot wait to move forward.
So what does all of this mean? Well, I am not going to go
cold turkey and set myself up for failure, that’s for sure. Right now it’s all
about incremental change and improvements. I’ll be starting with getting myself
healthy again. This means getting more sleep, a better eating routine, logging my
meals consistently, and getting in some workouts each week.
As I have in the past, I will be keeping track of my
progress through blog posts to help keep myself accountable and hopefully, if
anyone out there is struggling through hardships, you might find something
useful from what I am learning or doing. This is going to be a great year!
