  • Stac Thoughts

    Hey STACers.
    I had some time this morning, and since I start my day here, I thought I'd share. I don't know about you but I really value "THE DAY"...Today is THE DAY.
    I only have today, tomorrow is not here, and I certainly don't want to return to yesterday in any form!
    Today is completely open to my choices...There are minutes all over the place in my day that are not claimed, and I can fill them with things that make me stronger in this way of life.
    TODAY, i got up eariler so I could come here and get my focus and motivation together!
    TODAY, I made a choice to make this a priority. This is where I fill up. Set my mind to the task and remind myself of the successes available in this way of eating.
    TODAY, I reach out, even though I am fairly tired and worn out from a crisis, I know the value of posting and making friends and sharing our common goals of a healthy life.
    TODAY, I look over my schedule and commit to WHEN i will exercise. HOW MUCH water I will drink and WHAT I WILL EAT!

    TODAY I might return to the Atkins book and refresh, or study up on some exercise techniques, because KNOWLEDGE is power, and I talk myself into alot of good stuff, leveraging knowledge to motivate with.

    I've been doing these same mental things for 8+ months now. I walk in front of a mirror and stop, stunned! Where did all the weight go? What will fit me today, as cold weather returns, and I have to get back into jeans that are all too big?
    IT all comes down to TODAY. TODAY is about a lifestyle I can live, not a pound I can loose, they take care of themselves. TODAY is about living with routines and habits I can MAKE happen, not WISH I COULD HAVE DONE.

    Well, that's it for my TODAY!

    You're the best Jess. I raise my 74 oz water jug to you! The absolute best!

    Today I will go home and hug my wife and son!

    TODAY is such a great day.

    Tomorrow is far away, but TODAY I can see.

    Excellent. Excellent. Excellent.

              That was beautiful, passionate and wise...I am so stoked...This is just another reason why I come here every morning...because regardless of the crap I have to deal with from people making comments and negative nay sayers about Atkins...
              I come here and my love of this way of eating is renewed...my courage and my strength are renewed and I feel so much more prepared to face others and the outside world...I LOVE

                    Jess today's post was exactly what I needed. Thanks! I have been letting my mind wander these days getting caught up in other things and sacrificing choices I should be making. I havent been going to the gym for a few weeks and today I made myself, and I wish I could say I feel so great that I did. But that is just how I feel today, I know I made the right choice because its what I need to do to get to where I want to be. Tomorrow is another day and I will deal with how I feel when the time comes.
