New Month New Beginnings

hello-september-quotes-1

So I made a decision yesterday.  Starting today September 1, 2015, I am going to work out everyday this month.  I am sick of carrying this extra person on my ass.  (That is how I refer to my extra weight).  I have purchased all the videos, spent money on Weight Watchers, and other weight maintenance programs and still nothing.  I have just reached a point in my life and on this journey where I know that in order to feel better and in order to do my best in all of the endeavors I am currently pursuing.

I have enlisted the help of an accountability partner to give me daily reminders to work out.  I plan to start with Shaun T and T-25.  I want to have a daily plan so that I will be able to know in advance what I am going to do.  My plan is to have a semi-significant amount of weight loss by my birthday.  This is one area in my life that I have not had the best success at and that is mostly because I have been the most stubborn and to be honest lazy.  As I prepare to age this year I want to make a significant change to my lifestyle and work to make the rest of my life the best of my life.

T-25

I figured the best present I could give myself is to invest at least 25 minutes each day.  I ask that each of my followers pray for me and for those who wish to join in come on.  You may not have T-25, but you can start somewhere, maybe just walking for 30 minutes each day.  I have already started making small changes by taking vitamins everyday and making a small attempt to meal plan.  I cannot do everything at once so for now my focus will be sticking to the workout. In my opinion, this is the best birthday present I can offer myself.  A healthy life.

Wishful Thinking vs. Thoughtful Wishes

quote-of-the-day-december-24-2013

Is there a difference between wishful thinking and thoughtful wishes?  I am not sure that there is much difference between the two concepts.  What I do know is that wishful thinking can lead you to making changes in your daily life and your lifestyle.  But I assume that it is also sage to say that thoughtful wishes can do the same.   It appears that Mary Martin thought that there was a difference.  It is hard to determine what she meant or what she though was the difference.

Essentially it is up to the individual to determine what works best for them and what is in their best interest.  What do you practice, thoughtful wishing or wishful thinking?
