Unfulfilled Resolutions Not To Be Forgotten

A friend recently posted on Facebook that it has been one year since her last cigarette.  This short, incidental posting made a huge impression on me.  I felt great pride in her accomplishment;    that someone could commit to quit an addiction and could stick with it for a full year is a testament to her strength and endurance. (Way to go Glenda!)

It also occurred to me that she must have made a New Year’s resolution last year to quit smoking.  And she succeeded.  For some reason, to succeed at a New Year's resolution seemed even more impressive to me.  After all, today is only January 6^th, and I would be more than willing to bet that more than half of the resolutions made were broken already.  Or may, some have not even been started yet.

So here's my message for today:  if you have not started to fulfill your resolutions yet do not give up.  If you chose to eat healthier this year and have not even begun it’s not too late.  Don’t wait until next year or put it off any longer.  As the poet Horace once wrote “Seize the day”.   Don't give up.

Mmake a plan… Or just delve in... Just do whatever you have to do to get it done.  Whatever works best for you. But don't give up.

For me, I know I must take small steps to fulfill my goal.  My first step, which I am working on now, is to clean out the house of any unhealthy foods. Certain chocolaty delicious foods have mysteriously wormed their way into my house and exist just to tempt me.  They must be eliminated.  Preferably not by me eating them…

My plan is to try Isagenix 9 day cleansing system to cleanse out the holiday eating and hopefully lose all of the holiday weight that has to pleasantly joined me.    My plan is to try the nine system and stick with it exactly by the book.  I’ll let you know how I do…   If all goes well with my nine days and I am at my pre holiday weight (or less, please) I will adjust my future plans accordingly.  My plan will evolve and change.    

What about you?  What are you planning?  What have you done so far?  Are you taking baby steps like me, or are you jumping in and attempting it all?  Is it working, or should you be rethinking your plan?  Whatever you chose, just don’t quit…
