"This week, try staying firmly rooted in the present, not regrets from the past or worries about the future. Your power exists in the now." -Jillian Michaels

I love it when the universe stops and talks to me! So why does this apply to me? Because I live my life about 5 years down the road and yet always dwelling on the past. I am NEVER in the present. This is especially true as it relates to my dieting history. My focus is so firmly rooted on what I will eventually look like IF i lose the weight that when I have a little bobble in the road I just give up all together. I never embrace the moment or the small triumphs I have.

I have a gut feeling that "this time" is going to be different. I can only explain it because this is the first time that I'm actually researching, planning, contemplating, etc before I start. I'm trying to avoid an inevitable failure because I lacked preparation. It requires quite a bit more discipline then what I've been used to, and that's probably exactly what I need. I'm prepping for my first 30 day challenge...I will let you know when I finally get to start it :)
