"Are we there yet???"

Well it's day 3 of the journey on the road to body-perfection and I admit that I already had the thought... "Are we there yet"? I know it's ONLY day 3! What the heck is up with that??? But it is like I mentioned before even though the destination is worth it... the journey can be tough and seem VERY long and make you want to cry out ARE WE THERE YET?! It does not always seem to help when you continue to look in the mirror or get on the scale and they both seem to be laughing at you and those clothes are still tight for all the wrong reasons.

So what do you do? You can give up and turn around and accept the thought that it's just easier to stay the way that I am or you can look for a get-it-quick solution. Hey, modern science and every infomercial make it seem easy and that this is the way to go... You know, don't sweat, don't deal with the pain and discomfort that sometimes follows the day's exertion...

But wait if we are honest how many of these ideas and plans have we tried and really put a great deal of effort into, not to mention money and in some cases we reached our goal just in time for that big vacation or that class reunion or some other event to only find ourselves after it is all over we wake up and look in the mirror and wonder "what the heck happened" and you know we may not actually say "heck"...

The problem is just like anything else, getting it quick is not always satisfying and always leaves you wanting. You are left with nothing but a empty feeling almost as if you never had it at all. Sometimes the better things in life take longer and you get to enjoy each moment and did not just look forward to the end result. What does this have to do with this journey to body-perfection you may be wondering and the answer is EVERYTHING!

What you have to do is learn to enjoy the process. Enjoy every day's accomplishments. Take pleasure in the moment. Just like a road trip if you spend all of your time asking are we there yet, you will miss out on all the wonderful things that can be seen and done along the way.
So lets keep our heads up and our feet moving forward and enjoy the moment on this road to body-perfection.
