Here I go again. Another day one. Another this time I'll keep going. Let's be honest with each other here. It's not my first day one and it probably won't be my last. There have been countless times where I've started on a journey to lose some weight and get fit. Then I stop for one reason or another.
There's always the excuses. I don't have enough time. I'm not good enough. It's too hard.
It's okay, I've said them all before too. We all have. No one is perfect. But why does that have to hold us back? Sure it's hard, you had a rough day, you need a break. Why then just give up? I've done it. I had one bad day and that set me up for defeat the next day, the next week, even the whole month.
Why are we so hard on ourselves to think that if we don't give it 100% every day we can't do it at all? The problem is we can. There's no one telling us that we can't do this on our terms. We can. Sure, will we get healthier faster if we do it everyday. Maybe, but it's not guaranteed either. We need to do what is best for ourselves. We can't beat ourselves up over a missed day, or a missed week. We need to cherish the moments we give ourselves and the reasons we need those moments.
So don't call it another day one. I'm not going to. I'm restarting what I already set up. So it's not day one. I'm not even sure what day it is, but it's another step on my journey to wellness. It doesn't need a number. It's a feeling of motivation. I'm going to motivate myself to start a work out and push through to finish it. Then maybe I'll do the same the next day. All I know is I'm going to work on me both physically and mentally.
Here's to another day of spending time on me because we all deserve it.
