Quote from  Tom Ferry's book : Living Life By Design

" I have learned that most people are comfortable suffering and too quickly accept things as they are , rather than choosing to change or try something new."

Do any of you know anyone like this?   I do  it was me and at times it is still me.  Because I am learning and growing each day.  I have to change the way I am in order to lead a healthy life and lose weight and work out.   If   I do not set an example for my children, what am I showing them.   I  realize,  my eating habits , work out habits,couch potato habits are what my children will learn from me.  I want them to learn
my good habits and not my bad .  I will change I have to change I want to live. 

I can say I am working on it and at times I really struggle.  The times I struggle is during stressful times, or when I have not seen weight loss , or I am having a hard time in a certain area of my life, I tend to fall back into old patterns and behaviors.   When this happens I feel like a failure.  I can not do this and I can not change.   Or I say do I want it bad enough?   My answer is I want it bad enough to change .  I will have good days and I will have bad days.  But I heard someone speaking on a coach call today, " If you think you failed , your not failing if you learn something" 

As I am struggling this week with the Holidays and all the sweets, and me having a  hard time with my kids and some other personal family stuff happening in my life, I have not been the best at my diet or my workout.  But I have been walking and drinking my shakeology .  If I miss a Shakeology I want  unhealthy food and then it begins.  So , today I make a commitment to myself to make sure I drink my shakeology . Not just for the curbing of the appetite, but it makes me feel good.  I notice different things changing in me. 
With everything Shakeology has in it , who would not love it  .

Well, I am sorry I have not written in a while but as yo can see I have had a full plate , I will do my best to do better and bring you all good  things, not just about me, but articles and recipes, and what ever I find to make this fun .

So for today:  I WILL OPEN MY MIND TO NEW IDEAS AND LEARN TO LIVE MY LIFE IN A NEW WAY
