Day 143: Choices

Hey everyone!

We all have choices!  Choices about life, relationships, school, work etc! When it comes to the exercise world we have a choice to get up and do some type of physical activity or sit on the couch and watch TV.  We have a choice to stop at a fast food restaurant often or cook most of your meals at home.  It is up to us to make the right choices in our life to get the results and outcome we want.  Just as you would plan a path to get the class taken for your degree in college you should plan your workouts and meals each week to help maximize your success.

That is what is all boils down to is our choices.  I read a quote the other day that said, "What you eat in private, you wear in public".  This is so true.  I also read something that talked about don't think you are going to lose weight or change your body the way you want if you eat junk food and fast food all day.

So for those of you that want to change, make the right choice to get fit and get healthy.  If you are not ready to make that change but want to try, try!  You may surprise yourself.  Start small with saying no to sodas and pops or sweets.  But remember you will fail if you just go cold turkey so once a week treat yourself to one of your favorite items and just do it in moderation.  If you feel going cold turkey is best for you try it and if not then modify your plan.

It can be done people! I started January 1st and I am still on it.  Yes, I have had a cheat meal or two on the weekend, yes I have had a few set backs at times but I didn't ever stay off my plan for long and started right back.  This is the first time I have stayed on this healthier lifestyle plan so long and I am very proud of myself.  It could be you too.  Don't look back a year later and say, "Maaaaaan, I wish I was this or that" when you could have made the CHOICE to start today.  Just do it! Make a choice for the better!
