Today is the beginning of the beginning and there is no means to an end. I have been at this for a few months now...I need to do away with 'free' days- they are stupid and illogical...if I am going to do this- it must be a WAY of life. Treats are okay in small portions...but my athletic body needs to understand that I am in control these days. End of story. Here is to the new year, the new me, and the never ending story of conscious decisions, choices, and life after chub.
I know how hard it is to stick with it...I read somewhere that motivation (on average) only lasts up to 17 days. WOW! Most women only hit the gym for 30 days...and then Poof! Just as quickly as it began it ends. I don't want this to happen...finish what we start, reach our goals (or at least see progress and keep at it!) I know all of these things and it is still hard...knowledge is supposed to be power! Where is that power?!?! Why cant I get past the parts that make it difficult when I know that the road blocks are coming, the agony is there? I guess that is the part that makes it all worth it at the end of the day, or when we finally reach the damn goal. We can scream at the top of our lungs, "I DID IT!" Then comes the next step...staying there.
I will deal with that bridge when I get there...and I say 'when' and I mean it. I will slowly but surely make it to the magical number that I have in my head. It isn't unreasonable....its just there. Its the mythical "goal weight."
The journey continues.....................................

Good luck on your journey!
And that's interesting about the 17 days. I'd also read somewhere that it takes at least 3 weeks to establish a new habit--so maybe the key is to hang in there an extra 4 days after the motivation wears out!
