Make the Choice

It's been a while since I posted anything and to all those who visit my blog, a big thank you! I have received some very positive emails and please keep the comments and success stories coming! That being said, I left with steps to success with a program or a behavior you may want to change. I really have more to discuss but will leave this post up to be discussed in the future.

I Hope everyone made it through the Holidays with as few scars as possible. I know I did have a few setbacks myself, so no one should feel discouraged about any lack in their progress. The fact you are reading this and aware is a start that gives you the key to change. Dig down and go again!

I spent the holidays with my family as usual and really had a hard time finding the courage to turn down that delicious Christmas fudge and cookies. Looking back I could have done better but I realized one powerful behavior change within myself. Although I may have indulged one day, I felt I was missing something..it was exercise! i actually missed exercise! Apparently while my lazy brain had been sleeping and dreaming of that new sansa mp3 player I wanted so bad this Christmas, i slipped into some parallel dimension where I enjoyed it. Well I guess not, but it's amazing what 30 days of consistent action can do to make a lasting change. I think these "try this for thirty days and if you don't like it return it, no questions asked! Money back guarantee" gimmicks are a great marketing scheme! "Ok sure that sounds good!" Buy the time you try something out whether you liked a product or program or not, it became a habit and it became part of "your stuff" or "your life" and you might as well keep going with it. It would take to much to return and what the hell...who doesn't need a Frank Zappa Chia Pet!?

Coming back to reality for a moment (won't be here for too long..it's boring) what is it that forced me to start my routine back up after so many people have already dropped most of their New Years resolutions at this point? It was when I looked in the mirror. Why would I go back to bad eating habits and my old "fuck it" type attitude. It would be such a huge waste of time. I feel good, I am confident, I am more successful and I'm one sexy beast! I had spent a lot of money, time, worked with friends, family and other professionals. I made promises to others and most importantly....myself. Yes this all started for two reasons, My decision to minimize my possibility of health problems to show myself I can do what others have done. Second, a huge event in my life upset me so much that instead of sinking into a developing depression that I've never felt before, I gave myself permission I deserve more, I deserve a better life, I deserve any girl I want, I deserve to be myself. I made that choice, that's a large part of this ongoing development. I made that choice and rose above my faulty belief to show a girl how much I could change....yes a girl.. Isn't it always?..unless your a girl..then i don't know.. I'm not one...that I know of.

I am back on my program, P90X+Insanity+Yoga+Many other workouts designed to create a healthier me.

Do yourself one favor as you finish reading this...
1. Make one choice, just one. Choose one thing you can do to improve your quality of life. Doesn't matter what it is.
2.Find out what steps you need to take, even find the first one. Start NOW, tonight..tomorrow..at 3:15am on a Tuesday..whatever..just...START
2.Eradicate old behavior by telling yourself it is possible with one small step at a time. "Do your best, and Forget the Rest!"Dig Down, Dig DEEP, you have the strength and...know...

YOU CAN CHANGE.
