Procrastination, that evil, dirty word! We all do it. Tomorrow, next week, next month, I will get healthy. I will take care of business. I will clean out my kid's closet! Next week turns into next year, and we have a huge list of things that went undone. I just had the experience of coming face to face with my own procrastination. I had not been receiving business emails since getting a new website built. I was too busy, and too scared (technology is not my friend), and too unsure to get the issue taken care of. And, I would much rather hang out with my son then get on a computer! Today I finally got the issue resolved and was faced with the pile of unreceived emails. Reading over the emails of people who were reaching out, ready to get fit was sad and frustrating! At the same time, I felt excited and energized to know that I was getting on track, and this would NEVER happen again. What about you? Have you been procrastinating taking care of your body? Has your body been packing on the weight, one pound at a time, one fast food trip at at time? Are you looking at the scale wishing you hadn't waited so long?Procrastination is fueled by fear: I won't be able to do this. I don't have the tools. What if I don't have time? What if this fails like everything else? It doesn't matter whether you are looking to lose weight, gain muscle, or clean out the closet! Today I challenge you to acknowledge the fear, and combat it with REAL information. The truth is that every day counts, and can send you in a positive direction. The truth is you don't have to wait until next week, or January 1st to start transforming your body. You can start today! Challenge: Find one thing to do differently today to help you reach your goal. Pass up one soda and have water or tea instead, eat one yummy vegetable that you love, go for one walk around the block!
