    It is hard but remember why you're doing this. Push yourself but don't be too hard on yourself when you struggle; I know I expected to be able to just jump back into my old routines only to be EXHAUSTED 20 minutes in.

    Yes, it is. But, each day it gets easier. Just remember why you are doing what you are doing! :smile:

    I remember that feeling. It gets easier. I get so excited when I'm on my way to the gym now. Who knew?

    Getting started is the hardest part. But if you actually did get started and followed through the last time you started, where would you be today?

    That's what really got me into a routine this time around. I'd said, "no really, this time I'm actually going to do it, go to the gym, eat right, the whole nine yards" several times over the course of two or three years. If I had actually started and stuck with it that three years ago, I'd be three years ahead in my progress! Don't look back on this moment a year from now and wish you had a whole year of progress under your (newly tightened) belt.

    Just take it a day at a time! Remember, you can't re-do yesterday and you can only control today!

    'nothing worth having ever comes easy'
