“What other people think of you is none of your business.” – unknown

As much as this quote can be helpful: at times, what people think of me is important! The journey to health, eating less food, making healthier choices and working with a personal trainer is paying off.

One of my clients today said she could really see a difference in the changes in my body. Last week in one day, three people commented on how much thinner I looked.

It truly feels good to get this feedback. What feels great is how my clothes are fitting. I like that my waist is coming back and when I walk I feel lighter.

My tendency is to be loving and kind to myself and have positive self-talk. I also enjoy becoming my best Self!

Hope you are following along and seeing results too.

Today would be a great day to use your journal to start a gratitude list.

I am grateful that I am clear on my path toward health.
I am grateful that Domingo reminds me to walk every morning.
I am grateful I am motivated.
I am grateful I allowed myself a personal trainer.
I am grateful that I can use humor and laugh at myself.
I am grateful when I crave sugar I am happy to choose fruit.
I am grateful organizing a drawer distracts me until my craving passes.
I am grateful I have friends who are supportive of my journey.
I am grateful I can be honest with myself in my journal.
I am grateful I use my journal to process feelings that may cause me to eat.

Your turn!

Your next Step . . .

“Continuous improvement is not a one-off project or ‘flavor of the month’ . . . it is a constant and never-ending commitment backed up by action. ” – Author Unknown 

Wherever you are on your path, what is important is that you are going in the direction you want to be going.

I realized this in the journal class I taught this week. I found myself writing that I am happy, happy, happy and it is because I am on “my path.” What I meant by this is that I have in place what I need to continue in the right direction. In this case, a commitment to working with an athletic trainer and a commitment to this blog. Everything else will fall into place.

Whenever you are working on health and fitness, be it weight loss, weight gain or building strength, you have to start where you are and move into your next step!

Often I see people who are promoting diets, exercise, and health plans that are so far ahead of where the consumer is, there is no way they can envision themselves being successful. Therefore they spend a lot of money and fail. When you find your mentor or your muse, even if they may be far from where you are, also find others who are only a few steps ahead.

People are more successful when they find support from people who start with them right where they are, and build to the next step.

Health and fitness become your lifestyle, one step at a time. Find the support you deserve.
