A man I once knew would ask his son "how do you eat an
elephant?" The son would look up in a daze and ask "how?"
The wise dad responded "one bite at a time." I believe it
is our human nature especially in our fast paced society to
want everything right now!
Billions of dollars are spent every year on weight loss
pills and "quick fix miracles." We struggle as a society
with patience especially with ourselves. Think of someone
in your own life who excels at something they do. For
example I have one friend who plays the piano flawlessly.
While I watch him play it is my human nature to think;"They
are so lucky to be so good at that." What I would forget is
the behind the scenes the work that it took to develop that
talent. He didn't just sit at the piano and begin playing
Mozart. He spent countless hours practicing, and
practicing; studying music and the notes on the page until
one day he put it all together to produce beautiful music.
Our health and fitness can be applied the same way. It is
the small decisions we make everyday that literally form
who we become over time.
Make a choice to park a little farther away. Make a choice
to take the stairs instead of the elevator. Make a choice
to drink water instead of the cola. Make a choice to split
a meal at a restaurant with your spouse of friend. Make it
a habit to stop eating when you feel full.
We are faced with small choices everyday and we do have the
power to choose. We are the one bringing the spoon or fork
to our mouth. We are the ones choosing what is on that fork
or spoon. We are the ones deciding to watch TV for 30
minutes instead of getting off the couch and doing some
physical exercise.
Take responsibility for the choices you are making and
remember that you are a reflection of all those small
little choices that you are making every single day.
Although it might take many days, weeks, or even months
reach our health and fitness goals...
Remember the saying; "How do you eat an elephant?" "One
bite at a time." "How you reach your health and fitness
goals?" One small, daily, decision at a time.
Do something everyday to get you one step closer to the
person that you want to be!
Think back over your life to a time that you felt the best
you have ever been. Can you remember that feeling? I want
you to really feel again how that felt! You can feel that
way again! You have to believe that! Don't settle for just
being, but strive to be the best you you can be!
Be excited about this new journey you are taking.
Be excited to discover new potential you have that you
never even realized was in you!
Participate in activities that get you excited about
fitness.
Be excited about your potential.
Remember that the change has to come with in you... you
have to believe in yourself first!!!
You can become who ever or what ever you want to be as long
as you want it bad enough, and that is exciting. You are
your own sculptor. You are the Michelangelo of your own
body and together we are going to make a masterpiece.
All the Best! Chelsie Mecham eFit Today Total Fitness Team
