Consistency - I'm doing it!

An excerpt from my first entry in this blog in March 2012:

[All of these things], goals you can call them (I never liked the idea of a goal though), require consistency - a trait I don't naturally have. It is something I have to gain through desire, determination, and commitment. Motivation is hard to come by. It is my motto of the season to find excitement in the mundane. This is the only way I believe I can conjure up some motivation to do all the things I need to do for a better life but don't want to do. It is about convincing myself that I want this. I am not determined, but I want to be. I want to be determined, I want to be consistent. I need to be. All of my goals are nothing without consistency.

I want to meet my goals. I don't want to be still working on the same thing a year from now. I felt like every time I talked to my counselor, it was the same story. I'm pressing snooze, turning my alarms off without waking up. Still arriving to work late. It was getting old. Like when was I going to finally break the cycle!?

I am really happy to say that this week is day 4 in waking up early and clocking in by 8 and exercising. 🙌👏 

I need to keep it up. Today is Thursday morning. Yesterday I clocked in before 8am and went to the gym. 3rd day in a row! 

As I wrote in exerpt above "desire, determination, and commitment" this is what I need to keep it up. It isn't just one week that it takes to loose weight. It is consistently showing up to the gym and exercising. It consistently choosing healthy foods instead of sugary, fatty or greasy foods. Desire, I've got to want to accomplish my goals, and do what I have to do to get it done. Pack my bag the night before. Wake up when the alarm sounds. Even when you don't feel like it, you may be tired and just want to go to bed before taking care of the dishes or packing your bag, but get it done! A little more push, a little more desire, a little more determination. And the commitment to keep the consistency every day. 

I don't want to be in the same place a year from now. I want to meet my goals, and keep moving higher to other goals that are greater.

Until next time, Keep being determined 2b determined to find excitement in the mundane!
