Think long road, big picture.

It's been a month since this Healthier Me journey began and over the past few days this has been my internal conversation:
   Impatient Brain- "It's been a month! Why aren't things happening?! I've been working out 4 to 5 days each week and have been watching what I eat so why am I not wet suit/long board ready yet?"
    Rational Brain- "It's ONLY been a month. I've worked out 4 to 5 days each week and am eating better. Things ARE happening...in small, healthy increments. Have patience, young Padawan, and the reward will eventually be mine."

As much as I want to be farther along in this process, I realize the old expression "Rome wasn't built in a day" holds true here. I knew going into this it was going to be a long process, which is why I gave myself almost a year to accomplish what I want to do. I just need to stay the course and victory will be mine.

So, my goals for the month of September will be:
    1- Continue working out 4 to 5 days each week
    2- Watch my calorie intake daily
    3- Adopt patience as a virtue (or at least become it's foster parent for the next 10 months)
