Cost
It's easier to resist at the beginning than at the end.
Yesterday I drank a gallon of water. The cost was that I had to hit the head about every twenty minutes.
Yesterday I exceeded my goal of 15K steps, which included a Cardio Workout. The cost is that I am stiff and sore all over.
Yesterday I kept to the food plan. The cost was that I was mouth hungry for the things I couldn’t eat.
I am in a brainspace right now that isn’t worried about any of that cost. I know that if I can ignore the whispers telling me to grab a coke, sleep in, and order a pizza today, that tomorrow and down the road it will be less hard to as I go. I worked hard to get from August 1st to December 11th, and I am proud of that effort. I also don’t regret the time between the 12th and today…I enjoyed myself! But I lost a little ground. It is not the end of the world in the slightest. It gives me a new starting point, that’s all.
It is hard to resist. But I am. The cost is worth it.
