If you want to succeed at anything...first you have to commit.
I was thinking about this the other day.
I seem to be having issues committing to a church home.
I can see how, as you get older, committing to a particular path or person...or occupation can seem daunting.
A commitment implies participation, loyalty.
It implies some degree of discomfort.
A certain willingness to pay the price.
To lose weight.
You have to commit.
Mostly to yourself.
This week I have committed to doing 5 days a week at the gym...burning at least 700/500 calories on alternating days.
so 700 today, 500 tomorrow and so on.
And then committing to eating no more than 1500 calories a day.
Saturday will be a three mile walk and sunday a 2 mile walk.
Telling myself this is a commitment to me..
That the only person I will be letting down should I fail to follow through..is me...
Has really helped.
Plus...
My little brother committed..to his girlfriend.
He is engaged and I couldn't be prouder or more happy for him.
She is a nice young lady who is an attorney.
I will make an attempt at attending their wedding in September.
I want to look good in those photos..so I will be working out and eating well.
Hope you all have a great night.
Talk to you later,
Chris out.

I needed this post. Thanks Chris. Exactly what I needed to remind myself of.
Commitment is why I'm going to three yoga classes this week! Weeeee!
"Telling myself this is a commitment to me..."
It took me a long time to reach that point where that was good enough, important enough. And now it is.
Powerful stuff.
I have no doubt you will totally rock those wedding photos!
I like it better when you say it..
nice girl and attorney..... hmm are you sure those words go together ha ha ha just kidding
that is exactly where I am right now. In the struggle of the commitment. I thought I was committed before, early on when I started. Now I realize I was not as committed as I needed to be for success. I guess I will be writing about this on my blog as well. You are a Godsend to me. Your words are so true and real and so many times, exactly what I was needing to hear. Thanks again for being you!
