I have been looking back on last year. I made a promise to myself to start getting in shape last year and failed. Instead I gained weight instead of losing it this year will be different. What will make it different? My mind set. I let so many things get in my way, and the thing that mostly got in my way was myself. I thought I was ready for change but I wasn't. I didn't make the right steps to make the change, I set myself up for failure, because it is easier to fail than succeed. This year I am setting myself up for success instead. I am making the plans, and I am willing to put in the work instead of the wish system.
You all know what the wish system is, trying to wish your problems away instead of putting the work. It is the easy way, but nothing really changes. Change takes work, hard work, and for myself I am willing to put in the work this year. I have come to my sense that I can't wish the weight away. I can't take a magic pill, I have to put in the work.
I am so glad I had a great friend this last year who challenged me to join this. This is the kick in the butt I need to get the New Year started off right. It will be hard to meet this challenge. Losing 4% of my body weight in 4 weeks will be extremely difficult since I will have to lose over 12 pounds in 4 weeks, but I am up to the challenge.
Bring on the scale and let’s get this started. I am ready, I am willing, and I will be successful this year, with all the challenges that this year will bring.
