    Just for Today:I will focus on ideas vs reality, or what I like to call "The Rear View Mirror Principle".

    During the day a lot of thoughts and ideas come to me: "I want to have a fuzzy sock day. I want to lay in bed all day and read a book. I want to eat junk food. I want to watch movies that I haven't watched in a while. Exercise is too hard. Eating right sucks. A nap would be more fun the a stroll on the dreadmill." Last night, post workout, I read someone's status that they were trying to get up the enthusiam for a workout, but a nap sounded better. It struck me how often (Most minutes of every day) I have the same thoughts. But having already completed my workout for the day, I was able to honestly say, that although the idea of the nap is better going forward, the reality of the workout is way better in the rear view mirror. What do you want to see in your rear view mirror at the end of the day?

    I want to see the results of my not giving in to peer (family) pressure, bad habits and stinkin' thinkin' (telling myself I can't do things or they're too hard, or I'm too tired, etc).

    Just for today: I will make an attack plan to tackle my plan of attack. (Meaning I won't just make vague plans and goals, I will try to come up with a way to accomplish them)

    Just for today, I will try to remember that I am a grown up, not a child.

    My goal for yesterday was going to be listening more to my childish self.

    Good plan! I made plenty of mistakes yesterday, too.

    If you don't make mistakes, you aren't really trying!

    I love this thread--it's really inspiring.

    Just for today I am going to work out while I watch TV tonight rather than letting my long, tiring day be an excuse to lie on the couch.
