We have been jaded!! As Americans, we have been sold a dream. We have been extremely catered to. We are told that if we want something, we can get it and it won’t require much effort. We thrive off of instant gratification. It’s what we have grown to love. We have a desire, we go after it. But it better happen quick! And we better not have to work hard for it. If it takes too much effort…. NEXT! We move on to an alternative way of getting it or change the goal altogether. With any goal it requires some dedication. Determination. Consistency. Diligence. Planning. Milestones. Celebrations! You have to…

I have to give each and every role the effort that they all deserve for the outcome that I desire or expect. But all the roles I mentioned describe who I am to others.

Challenge is over. So… Now What?
The challenge is over and you don’t know what to do until the next one. You are worried that you may go back to your old eatings habits and possibly begin working out less. There is no one to hold you accountable now. No consequence for gaining weight this week or the next week. This is a great time to start holding yourself accountable. Becoming your own cheerleader.
