That means, I take this journey one day at a time, one step at a time. I work each day to focus on eating right and getting my workout in. I have many days were I struggle just like everyone. I have just as many excuses in my book as everyone else does. But, I know my goals and my goals are where I assume my path will end. I know that each time I make an excuse, I took another detour on my path and it will be a little longer to get to the end.
While continuing down my path, I found many things along the way. One day, it was just looking at the scale and seeing it 5 lbs lighter then just a few weeks earlier. The next time, it was realizing I just completed some cardio sequence that was killing me a few days earlier. There was a time when I realized that my pants were starting to fall off, then soon even the next size smaller was falling off. One day, muscle definition started to show, ever so slowly growing more and more fit. Each step of my journey seemed to have yet another surprise waiting for me.
As you choose your path toward reaching your goal, pay attention to each little step and surprise along the way. These little things add up. These little things are the whole reason you push those excuses aside. Keep taking doing down the path, just one day at a time, one step at a time. There is no race, there maybe no real end. If the end of my path was my original goal, then I have hit that end. But, as I continued my journey, I realized my goals have changed as my body and mind were changing. Each new goal made my journey a little longer. Do I complain, not in the least bit. I just stop and look back at the progress I made and I know that each day, each step on my journey brought me where I am today. That each day I continue down my path there may be some unplanned added detours and there will be some reasons I purposely changed paths. I will just keep going one step at a time, one day at a time. Where this path ends, nobody knows.
