Have you ever fallen off the wagon? You've made a commitment and absolutely did great
for awhile and then all of a sudden it was gone! The motivation stopped and you did not
continue with it. Last year I was going to the gym and I was consistent, consistent,
consistent. Every day the first thing I did was get up in the morning, put on my shoes,
my gym outfit and off I would go. And I remember thinking, "This is so good. I will never be
that way again!" Thinking about the way I was before I started because I was starting
to get really good results. And then all of a sudden I stopped; a day here, a day there
and all of a sudden it stretched out. I made excuses, you know, it's too cold, too dark,
it's this, it's that. And today I was thinking about why that happened and I believe what
it was, was that I lost the vision. Because when I went to the gym, I wasn't going there
to lift weights and run on the treadmill. That part didn't excite me. What really excited
me was the thought, and it sounds really silly, it was the thought of walking along a Mediterranean
beach in a really smoking bikini and I was getting amazing results. When I lost touch
with the dream, I lost touch with the motivation to continue. So I thought, there are a number
of different things in my life that I am working on right now and part of it is the 68 seconds,
the law of attraction thing that if you think of something often enough and they talk about
the visualization of something and the emotion that you feel when you feel really good about
something that will carry you forward and also help to attract those things into your
life. So I thought, ok, I am going to give this a shot again and partly because of my
trip to the Camino de Santiago next year. I want to be in really good shape just from
a fitness and health perspective. So I am going to focus and get back at the gym on
a very, very consistent basis because it has been a little haphazard in the last week or
so. So join me on my blog. I'd love to have you follow along with my progress. Look forward
to talking to you soon.
