Thousand mile journey

You've heard the saying, "The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." Well it could also be said, "The journey of a thousand miles begins with a broken fan belt and a flat tyre."

Sometimes the prospect of exercising or sticking to a healthy lifestyle diet leaves you with a feeling similar to the thousand mile journey because of a broken fan belt and a flat tyre.

If this is how you feel when you start out, guess what?

You won't stay on your program more than a week... and that's being optimistic!

You absolutely must get those feelings right before you start. What are the strong reasons for doing it? Have you written them down and written your goals? Have you got someone to encourage you to keep going when you want to quit? Do you have a system to check progress and inspire you on?

That thousand miles can be made to seem less if you approach it the right way. And if you do, before you know it, you'll have done it. I'm with you if you want to start.
