Keep the Goal in Site

Every day I try to read something to give me ideas and keep my motivation up. Today I read about keeping your goal always in front of you, out in plain site so you can't forget where you are headed or sweep it under the rug. They also advised finding some pictures that embody where you would like to be and place those around the house. So I bought a fitness magazine and found some really fit, healthy women. I taped those up to my bathroom mirror along with some words of encouragement and a photo of me now (looking less than fit) and one from several years ago when I was pretty happy with myself. I'm not sure if all this will inspire me, or depress me! But I do know it will keep the goal right there before my eyes. If I choose to ignore it, it will be a conscious choice and not an unconscious slip-up. I'm learning health is a choice I make every day at the table and at the gym (or on the couch).  Today I chose wisely. And with the right motivation in place, I plan to make that a trend.
