Is the decision we make today going to help or hinder us reach our goal tomorrow?

WOD:  6.5 mile run

Sunday is always my favorite day of the week! I always can count on getting in a longer run in the afternoon.

Friday was my first day off the Whole 30 Challenge. I had a strict 14 day streak and then a funnel cake! Then I had another 14 day streak. Friday was my birthday lunch at Cheesecake Factory. I had made the decision earlier in the week that I was going to order the customary Oreo Extreme cheesecake. It was worth the wait and the decision.

I didn't regret eating the cheesecake.

Is the decision we make today going to help or hinder us reach our goal tomorrow? And, if I make this decision today, will I regret it tomorrow?

Eat the cheesecake if it's worth it to you. Savor the taste, texture, and smell. When you are finished, walk away and move forward. No regrets. Next meal.

Keep going. Progress doesn't happen overnight. We have a years of bad habits that we are trying to break. We have hundreds of hours of media that has been ingrained into our head about how society thinks we should act, eat, and behave. We have triggers that make us associate memories with food. We have so much going on in our lives that we can only squeeze in a visit with friends over a meal.

Slow down. Find you.

Today I realized that every day is flying by. I don't have enough time in the day to appreciate all of the beauty that God has created.

Every day is a new day with new steps. All those steps are moving forward, which means we are making progress. Celebrate today and your accomplishments. And then do it again tomorrow. There's no rush.

When you are hungry, ask yourself, "Can I sit down and eat a plate full of fish and broccoli?" 

If the answer is yes, you are hungry. 

If the answer is no, you are bored.
