I've stagnated, and even regressed a bit. I don't work out regularly like I used to, and my eating choices have taken a few steps backwards.
I'm not as bad as I used to be, but if I don't get back up, I will be.
Did you hear that? That's the thing. I'm not as bad as I used to be, but IF I DON'T GET BACK UP, I will be.
It's never too late to get back up on the horse. Whether you've had a bad mean, bad day, bad week, bad month, or in my case, a bad couple of months, it's never too late to get back on track.
You have to take responsibility for your actions and commit to keep moving forward. I have no one to blame for my regression but myself. It's not my family's fault - it's not their job to make sure there are good food choices at home and encourage me to exercise. It's not my friends' fault - it's not their job to make sure I eat well when we go out and go to the gym regularly. It's not AdvoCare's fault. AdvoCare products work 100% of the time when used correctly, consistently, and when the user is coachable with them. I was none of those and it's no one's fault but my own.
During this time of laziness, my business has also stagnated. It makes sense, after all. How can I ask people to do things to better themselves when I, myself, am not willing to do them?
That changes today, however. This blog is quite late because I kept pushing it back thinking that what was written above could be written in past tense rather than present. Even now I know there are things that I know I wanted to include, but can't for the life of me remember what they were! Part of that is due to faulty technology - I wrote this entry out in it's entirety but never saved the draft, apparently. Most of that fault, however - 95% of it - rests solely with me for waiting WAY too long to write this.
I want you to take two things away from this post. 1.) Change happens when you take responsibility and ownership for that change. 2.) It's never too late to get back on track if you fallen off to the side, or even back slid.
