It's all in how a message is delivered!

Had an GREAT, POSITIVE, INSPIRING and ENCOURAGING...talk today with Intel’s health coach. He helped put a few things into perspective on my weight loss journey. It's not about the end result, it's how I get there and what steps I take to achieve that final goal, it is about me continuing to make healthy life choices and working on my goals. I need to work at my goals in steps with positive and healthy people surrounding me! His analogy was about the HS wrestling team he coaches wanting to take state championship.  It isn't enough that they just say "I want to take state" over and over, they have steps to make along the journey to get to state, practice, stay in their weight class, lift weights, eat healthy, etc.  The same way I have steps along my journey to lose weight! I have to continue to be mindful of what I eat, continue exercising, drinking plenty of water and balancing my meals.  I can't just say I want to lose 50 lbs, I have to take the steps between my current weight and my desired weight to get to that goal.  I have the desire to lose weight, I have the knowledge, I just need to put everything that I have learned in the last year and a half into practice.  Yes I have heard all of this before...but it is in the way it was told to me today...POSITIVE, INSPIRING and ENCOURAGING!  Thanks Jason for the encouraging words today!
