Let feelings be feelings and facts be facts.

One of the biggest mistakes human beings can make is to base certain lifestyle decisions on feelings. When you are in the process of changing to a healthier lifestyle, you will feel uncomfortable with the change, so you may make decisions to do certain things based on your feelings.

When creating a healthier lifestyle, it is wiser to base your decisions on facts. Exercise, for example, is critical to long-term success. So, not feeling like exercising is irrelevant. You have to look at the bigger questions: What are my long-term goals and what will get me there? The factual answers to those questions should be what you base your decisions on.

Action for the day: Do something you don't feel like doing today, because you know it will make you healthier (and happier in the long run).

    The other thing I have to remind myself is that what the Wii Fit or MFP say I did or ate is irrelevant. The only thing that matters is what happened in my reality. The food that actually went in my mouth, the work my body actually did. These other things are only tools to help me get an accurate picture of what that reality is.

    Not sure if anyone else has trouble with that concept from time to time, but I know I do!
