Setting your sights HIGH

As the time of holidays and weekends start to approach at a furious pace, it's with great importance that we take a few moments at the end of each day and the beginning of the next that we set our personal goals and sights high, YET reasonable.

Everybody's struggles with this particular challenge are all relative: some are entering this phase with more obstacles and internal sugar demons where as others aren't sure exactly what they hope to gain from this experience other than the simple follow through with this intense 30-day experiment.

Whatever the reasons, we will all end up at the same place at the same time but with so many (ideally) different and fabulous results. Remember: there is no easy solution to a healthy mind, body and spirit. There is no miracle potion, lotion, pill, liquid diet, or hypnosis that will enable you to have the body and life you dream for yourself; the only true form of attaining a goal of health and prosperity is to live with health and prosperity. Throughout this challenge, you will find a lot of internal doubt arising from day to day. Not only is that the withdrawl speaking, but it's just as much the fear of not reaching what you had envisioned! 

These type of commitments take shape and form the deeper you dive. The only way to really know the truth is live it day by day and enjoy the journey. Instead of dreading a holiday or a weekend free from the weekday routine filled with temptation, move ahead with some goals for next week! Look how much we have learned and felt in two short weeks...okay, maybe they weren't so short, but looking back is never as bad as when you are in the thick of things!!

You have everything you need...
