Practice

Remember when you were younger and decided: “I want to get better at ______ (math, tennis, reading, singing, playing the guitar, swimming, cooking…).” You knew you would have to work at it. To reach your goal, you had to create a new habit and make time for practice. Getting fit works the same way. You are still the same determined person. You did not question having to put some effort into your endeavor. And you did not make up excuses to avoid reaching your goal. You did not sabotage yourself. It was the task at hand. You truly wanted it. Dig inside and find the reasons why you want to be fit. The New Year is coming; start early, commit to a new habit before Thanksgiving, and you will feel “on your way.”
