New perspective

Well, over this last month I have slowly...well, maybe faster than I am willing to admit, I have slipped back into old habits. Do I really want to use the excuse that I am buying a new house and have TONS to do? Yes, but it doesn't do any good. Either way you look at it: I do not like what I see. I do not like what I am doing. What I wanted to share is something that I was looking for. My motivation to keep going after I hit speed bumps of any kind hits the skids and I start going down after that. I can go on a walk and get sweaty and that is enough to send me back inside - how pathetic!!! 

What I just learned does not need a huge speech. I saw a saying that said that motivation starts AFTER you get going!!! WAIT! I thought that motivation is what GOT you going!!! But, it makes so much sense!! You have to take the first step and get going!! Nothing is going to get me going but me! THAT action will get me more motivated and it becomes a POSITIVE cycle! All I have taught myself is to give in to the pain and stay put. I have not learned what it takes to get myself going. 

So, with that, I am going to make some goals. I don't know what they are yet, and honestly, I am going to wait until we move. However, I have found a friend online that has just lost quite a bit of weight and she has just walked the steps I need to take. She has been very inspiring to me. Just pray for me. Pray that I can learn to motivate myself - something I know nothing about.
