One Step At A Time

Getting in shape can be overwhelming.  You see where you are and how far you need to go to get to where you want to be.  Don’t let your eyes look too far ahead.  Don’t hold yourself up to a standard you have yet to experience.  Just take one step at a time.  Even if you are afraid or insecure take a step.  It does not matter how you feel as long as you don’t let your feelings keep you from moving forward.  Just take one step at a time.  

One meal adjustment at a time.  
One cardio workout at a time.  
One lap around the track at a time.

Every step you take is one step closer to your goals.  You may want to do 3 workouts in a day to speed up your progress but you can’t do them at the same time you have to do one before you can do three.  Some times we can be so ambitious that it distracts from taking simple actions towards our goals.  Your dream house is not built in a day.  It takes many actions before a house can be completed.  Even when it is built there requires maintenance to sustain it.  Meaning when you reach your goals you don’t stop you create new ones.  If we take one action at a time we can focus all our energy on it and we will feel more motivated to take the next step.  

Today take one step towards your fitness goals and share your step with someone else.  You never know how it may motivate them to take a step as well.
