Day TWO (so over!) — 1 year ago
Ate a bit more today and ran around a whole lot more at work. So long as the mind keeps busy and focused, the body will follow- and visa versa!
Another day- POOF!
discipline my mind and body

Day ONE (done!) — 1 year ago
Every time i craved a bite of chocolate, or wanted a puff on a cigarette, or wanted to sit down instead of running around at work- i told myself “NO.” I am in control of my actions. The Body rules the Mind.
Day one is done!!!

I am very good at short stretches of discipline, and have always used that as an excuse to sort of ease up as time goes by. I don’t want my mind to be so cluttered, racing at all times, and full of unhelpful thoughts anymore. I don’t want my body to lapse into periods of disrepair or be uncooperative when I need it to work hard. Excuses ranging from my past experiences to my biological makeup have been key factors in the continuance of these problems. I am ready to take 100% responsibility for these things now, because I finally realize I’m the only one holding myself back.
It’s so funny because I was always worried about all the “hard work” it would take to train my mind to focus and my body to be a temple. Turns out that I enjoy the work and that the results are more than worth the effort. I’m happy to be finally doing this, and excited to see where it will take me.
