"Running yourself off the tracks of a predetermined future takes daily resolve. If January is the month of change, February is the month of lasting change. January is a month filled with the ghosts of failures past. January is for dreamers. February is for doers -- a cold, dark month that makes you gaze seriously into the proverbial mirror and run from your reflection. That's right, run: every day for five minutes, then seven, then 10, and then you're on your way."
I read this in THE NEWBIE CHRONICLES by Marc Parent in Runner's World magazine, and it definitely can be applied to healthy eating and other lifestyle changes as well.
Don't let yourself get bogged down with changing everything at once or fitting all the "superfoods" or powerful nutrients into your diet. But DO MAKE CHANGES. Add more nutritious food a little each day or week and before you know it you're eating to fuel your body and there is no space left for the processed, unhealthy stuff! Enjoy the journey!
Action Item: Resolve today to continue working toward a healthier you! Not only will you feel better, but those around you will start making healthier choices too.
For further reading: Go to Hulu or NBC and watch an episode of The Biggest Loser. Call me crazy, but I adore this show and I don't know how anyone can watch it without getting motivated to get out of your comfort zone!
