I just noticed the date of the last time I posted and perhaps the title of this post alludes to the explanation. Yup..I fell off the wagon. I could disclaim that statement and say "in some ways," but the bottom line is that I didn't complete what I set out to do...in its entirety... and only made it half way through. So that's my confession...blogs are about honesty and candor...and there it is. So where do I go from here? I jump back on....
This week Bill and I professed to making exercising our priority. I've been going to the gym, walking the dogs, and he's on a bike ride as I post; his second bike ride this week. Go Bill!
Although we didn't do the no alcohol thing to the extreme I had hoped...we have both learned a lot about ourselves. I can't speak for him, but will speak for myself. I've learned about choices and how MY choices impact my healthy and non-healthy decisions. I realize (as obvious as it may sound) my choices are the one thing (among many in this world) that are in MY control.
So moving forward...a book on the Today Show has me intrigued and thinking about 'mental toughness'. It's a controversial book because of it's blunt approach, but I think I'll like it. "Die Fat or Get Tough" by Steve Siebold explains how fit people think..as opposed to those not fit. I put myself in the not fit category and am prepared for the kick in the booty. I've got my copy on order at Amazon. However, as with any book, video, pill, etc....I'm not WAITING on the book to give me some answer I already know. As I said earlier, I'm jumping back on...NOW
