Motivational Monday

Motivational Monday

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do.
So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails.
Explore. Dream. Discover.”
H. Jackson Brown

It always seems to me that Easter is a real book mark in the year; there is the time before Easter and then the time after Easter. It very much separates one part of the year from another.
Now with Easter fully over (school kids going back and people returning from their holidays) I think this is a great time to reconsider what and where we are going. Are we doing things that will truly challenge us or are we just getting older walking along the same old tread mill?

On a personal level there are plenty of months left in 2012 for new goals to be conceived, planned and actioned. And from a fitness/health perspective it’s a great time to consider where you are against your goals? If you are setting fitness/health goals and trying to reach them. Maybe you’ll decide to try something new or work on strengthening a weak area. Get a fitness or weight loss app for your phone. Set up your profile and then track ALL your activity (and inactivity!) by the hour and EVERYTHING you eat and drink. Then let it do the math and see if your energy equation is balanced or not. You could learn a lot! When grocery shopping buy treats you can easily take measured portions of and avoid foods you have a history of overeating. Buy something you like that will satisfy a craving instead of something irresistible to you. Fitness is not an all or nothing proposition! Every little bit counts. Do something today to help yourself improve!
If you haven’t fully sailed out into those trade winds then maybe now is the time to do it!


Happy Monday!!
