Discipline!!

“It’s about doing the right thing and the hard thing at times. One day of discipline leading to another day of discipline. You build your body and your mind simultaneously. The good thing is anyone can do it — if they choose to.”

The above is a quote from an article called 8 Surefire Fat Burners, by Raphael Calzadilla, B.A., CPT, ACE.  It’s actually a great article for those who want to read it:

 I’ve found that this is something a lot of us seem to struggle with; Lord knows I do!  And it helps to be reminded exactly what we’re struggling with sometimes.  Isn’t that what we’re doing?  Building body and mind?  I mean, body is one thing, and MAN is that hard!  But building your mind is even harder sometimes.

 So here’s to everyone who struggles with discipline…remember…it’s about doing the right thing, and the hard thing, one day at a time, …and ANYONE can CHOOSE to do it.

 What are you choosing today?  :)

    Wow Chai thanks for making me stop and think about that for a minute. There are many a days I think to myself Iam ment to be fat and that is just the way it is. But I do not often think that I have a choice in the matter…that is a great way to look at it. Every meal I eat I have a choice to do the right thing for my body or not. Hmmmmmm something to think about. It is not a hard choice for me when I tell my kids no more junk food…eat your veggies ect ect…why is so hard for me. I agree it is harder to condition your mind then your body. Thanks for making me think today.
    hugs,
    Jenn

    GREAT MOTIVATING BLOG!!!! Loved reading it.

    And I’ll go you one step further… it’s about building body, mind, and soul. It’s the balance of all three that keeps me focused and on track. I get away from one, the other two suffer.

    Going to read that article NOW. Thanks!

    Huggggggggggggggs,
