365 days in a row

Options
Call it dedication call it being stubborn whichever I call it done. A year without missing, at least checking in. Being sick, out of the country, busy with work, busy with life in general, I took the 5 seconds to at least check in. I have watched people come and go, asking for help and then getting annoyed when you do. I have met my goal weight and then leveled out.
My point is, I'm not an expert nor do I pretend to be. I'm not a muscle-head who will tell you that you're working out wrong. I'm not a sales rep for any energy supplement and try to push product down your throat. I am a 43 year old normal guy who woke up and said I am sick of it. I'm sick of looking how I look, breathing heavy walking up stairs, I'm sick of looking back and wondering what happened? The decision was easy...stop drinking alcohol (personal reason due to the disease "*kitten*-itis") and put the fork down. The work came after, like it does for all of us. Making time to workout, illness, hitting the wall, boredom, the brain vs. the body struggle. It doesn't matter, its your journey. It doesn't matter how many steps you take as long as you take the first step. So if anybody would like to add me as a friend for encouragement and support, I will do my best just don't get pissed at me when I ask where are you at after not checking in for 5 days.

    Good for u. I am impressed! I am one that comes and goes but hasn't really started! Mondays keep coming and going and I keep making my excuses. I have a lot of work to do, but I haven't given up. (Although when does one admit to oneself that they have given up?) I have a sister who keeps saying "I don't want my kids to remember me fat." Her kids are now 21 and 19 and 17...! I don't want that to be me ;(

    I really liked your post, I love when people are straightforward. That's my goal 365 days in a row. I'm at 110 days now and cooking along. Knowing that people like yourself and other here having that kind of staying power helps keep me going. Thanks.
