More than halfway! :)

Before I started this journey, I'd often look for motivation and find quotes along the lines of "in 4 weeks you'll notice, in 8 weeks your friends and family will notice, and in 12 weeks the world will notice," or "three months from now, you'll thank yourself." Ninety days seemed to be the magic number I'd have to plow through to see appreciable results, and in my instant gratification state-of-mind, this only fueled the "I'll start tomorrow" mentality. I can't explain why it happened, but on January 16, I started and never looked back. I haven't been perfect: I still drink way too much wine and I still oblige every time my boyfriend asks me to make cheese fries. But I do so with mindfulness and with my eye on the prize. After my first three months, I am thanking myself.. and I know that in another three months, as I am approaching my goal, I will be doing the same. So if there's anyone out there teetering, or wondering why today should be the day, I leave you with this: there's nothing to it but to do it!
