Day 8 of My Adventure

My number today is still 16 but just minus a few ounces. But did I have a good day yesterday - YES! Lots of walking and eating only for fuel (when hungry) and stopping when satisfied (not necessarily full). I have to admit the get together at Melvin's complete with pizza was just a bit daunting though!

Well today I climb back in our car and make the trek up 1-70 one more time. It will be another snack free trip so hopefully the weather will cooperate and I will be home in less than the usually 5 hours.

I am a big one on reading to stay motivated. I read this last night and really liked it so thought I'd share. Its kinda long so bare with me.

"If you want to really change your life, you have to understand that you change it in one day. And that day is today. What you did or failed to do yesterday is in the past. Don't let it drag you down. And what you hope to do tomorrow doesn't matter either. Tomorrow is beyond your reach. What you can control is to choose the best actions today. You change your life with what is immediately in front of you. You have been given today, SO USE IT WELL!" (Emphasis mine)

".... do things today that will propel you to change in small, measurable pieces. Progress is not made in huge steps. It is achieved in bite-size successes. You take a step toward the life you want today, and then another step tomorrow. Getting there is all about making progress from morning to night every day. Don't be interested in perfection; instead be committed to progress." From the book

The One Day Way

Here's to us all having a great day making progress towards all the changes we want, and need to make in our lives!

"I can do all things through Christ who stregthens me."
