Which Step Have You Reached Today?

So as you know, recently B and I have been struggling. We have had a major lack of motivation and we find ourselves going nowhere. We have managed to amp things up with volleyball, but our diets haven't really improved. We always seem to talk about how important diet is and blah blah blah, but that doesn't mean that we practice it. Something I know we need to work on is all-around fitness, instead of just half-hearted efforts. We know what we need to do, but we don't always do that. We have lots of tips and ideas, but we are continually stuck in a rut. From now on, that is going to change. We need to have a set day where we sit down and plan our meals for the week. We need to have a plan, and then a backup plan in case we mess up. We need to be committed and encourage each other, instead of using our failures and weaknesses as an excuse. We need to set goals that are reasonable and actually follow through with them. Next Saturday is the mud run that we are running. We do not expect to be able to run the whole thing perfectly, or to set record breaking times. We do however expect to finish it. We want to prove to ourselves that we can do something. Remember: some major parts of being healthy are, eating right, exercising, drinking water, getting enough sleep, and also setting goals and achieving them. Just make sure your goals are reasonable so that the expectations are not so high that you are never able to attain them. It all comes down to what step have you reached today? You might not be on the same step everyday, but the important part is learning to get farther and farther all the time. You have to work hard to get up those first few steps, but after that it gets easier and easier till you reach the top. (And it feels great once you do!)
