As our nation continues to become more obese and less motivated, I often ask people, "When are you going to start your training and nutrition program?". The typical answer I get is "Monday". My rebuttal sarcastically is "Everyday is Monday". What I mean is why wait. Getting a better body and health is a difficult and lengthy process that WILL take more than a day, week, month and possibly years. All changes have to start somewhere. So if we implement "the one day at a time" motto, why not start now.
When we have the end in mind, it is very difficult to appreciate the small changes we start slowly implementing in our lives like eating breakfast, or getting to the gym. I like setting long term goals as it helps us realize it will take time. I also like setting short term goals too. For example, if you want to lose 50 lbs in 6 months lets start with 1 lb this week and maybe 2 lbs next week. Let's allow ourselves a moment of appreciation for a job well done.
So when is your Monday?????

Great post, I have some friends who continually say "oh man, January 1st I'm going to be eating so clean and training so hard!" What are they waiting for?
