Today is day 99. IF I HAD NOT SET A GOAL DATE of day 100, this day and tomorrow would just slip by, there would be nothing to celebrate and I need celebrations they motivate me...
BUT, I sat down early in this program and asked myself what I really wanted, besides weight loss, and it was TO BE HERE on day 30 (1month) day 100, Jan1,07, Mar 14,07 and Aug1,07... Since writing those dates down, I have visited them consistently. They are like these 4 legs of the journey for year 1...on my new way of life. Tomorrow leg one will be here. 100 days. If I had not set it as a goal, I would be living it like any other day...but to be able to say I have been on this plan for 100 days, is incredible and it adds credibility to my life. It boosts self confidence and shows me my self control...All of that is like a gift, you can't buy at Wal-Mart, but you EARN as you make promises and keep them! I wanted to arrive on day 100 fully committed, organized, in control of my eating and exercising and I am there! I am walking in what i wanted them most...Because I have these abilities, I can sustain my weight loss, and actually loose more. It's a day to day thing...I have earned this place of control and focus...
And tomorrow I won't drop off the face of the earth, just because I made it today 100, NOOOOO I set the next goal and will continue to move forward...
So, when you think about the challenge many of us are on for Nov...Start planning now for Dec...and then plan for Jan...
So you always have new levels of direction to cling to...
When I hit March 14th, I will turn 50, I will be in a very different place than I am today...On that day, I will be able to fathom Aug.1... I will be able to consider new goals for the fall of 07, which is a year from now.
I need direction, I need goals to focus on...I need "something to shoot for" I need specifics in my life, not generalities I need to feel successful, and like I am achieving in my life, when I do, I cling to and love the vehicle that got me there, ATKINS WAY OF LIFE!!!
