It’s the last day of the old year. As I sit here and type this I reflect on what I’ve started and how far I’ve come.
For the record: I have been inconsistent through out. That best sums up the last 4 months. Some days I’ve been on high, motivated by my success. Other days have been low ones, wallowing in self-doubt and depression. Yet, as I stand at the precipice of 2010, I can honestly say that I have lost and kept off approx 3.6 kilos since September, since starting this endeavour. I survived the Christmas binge. I can also say, hand on heart that I still enjoy going to the gym and I am definitely more aware of how much and what I put into my mouth. While we’re on the topic of being honest….I have to record also that I am far from exemplary, and I have had bouts of wonton desire (for chocolate or chips) and moments when I’ve slid down hill.
….but….(I try to find a silver lining behind every dark cloud) I have taken my first steps towards a better healthier lifestyle and have found myself at the end of this year, still very much on the path I set out on four months ago.
On that note, the last few months have not entirely been a waste and it is with a great sigh of relief that I say, it has not been a total failure.
As such, my new year’s resolution is to keep at it. To keep doing what I’ve been doing so far. To keep at the path. To keep walking. To continue making an effort.
