Wednesday before Thanksgiving
Today has been tougher than I thought it would be since I am just starting out. My spirits are still high, but I did have some moments of dread throughout the day. I think I have been focusing too much on the overall task and it seems SO big that I got a little overwhelmed by it today. I need to make some shorter-term goals to help break down this task. Kind of like the old saying---,"How do you eat an Elephant?"....."One bite at a time". I think it is quite humorous that even my analogies even involve eating! Oh boy this is going to take some work.
Today I decided that my first goal is to lose 5 pounds. I will only focus on this right now and celebrate that accomplishment when it happens and then set my next goal. That is about as strong as I can be today since tomorrow is Thanksgiving and will be a challenge. Until tomorrow...
