When I put a shout out for motivation tips on Facebook, a dear friend of mine mentioned baby steps. Am I the only one who thinks of What About Bob when people say baby steps? Ha ha. When looking at pictures of fit people I often forget that it took time for them to be where they are. We live in a generation of "want it now, get it now". Want new clothes? Go out and buy them. Want a new phone? Go to the phone store and get it. It's like we don't have any patience!
I see so many "lose 10 pounds in 10 days" type diets where you can lose weight fast. I forget that it takes time for your body to change. My weight loss/muscle toning won't happen in a day, or even a week. I need to take baby steps.
This friend also told me that making a clear and precise goal with an end date in sight is helpful. Why didn't I think of that? Guys, I was in a funk, and I can feel myself coming out of it, thanks to your motivation and support!
I am going to make a goal for myself, a clear concise goal with an end date. I will make baby steps for myself. I will post my goal here to make myself accountable. I don't yet know my goal but I will think about it this week.
The past two weeks have been crazy, but that's nothing new. I have had sick kids and I have been sick. I have taken it easy hoping that rest would make me better. I hope to get back in the swing of things soon.
