No more "Ill do better tomorrow"

Any one who has known me a long time would know that I have been in a constant battle with my weight since I was... well... since I can remember. Whether it was wanting to lose a few pounds or wanting to be in better shape for whatever sport I was involved in or what I am currently facing... needing to live a healthier lifestyle in order to lose a large amount of weight. I have never actually been successful in any of these tasks. I have to say that something about this time feels different. Why is this? I think it is because I have never wanted something more... Proof? This evening I was perfectly comfortable curled up on the couch cuddling with my brother's dog; I had not worked out yet due to self inflicted crappy feeling day caused by a late (and wonderfully fun) night in Mt Pleasant with my friends. It was getting pretty late and I kept thinking to myself, one day off wont hurt anything, but then I realized... yes it would. In the past I would find myself saying "Ill do better tomorrow" on a regular basis...and then tomorrow turned into next week and next week turned into 10 pounds and so on. So what did I do? I got myself changed and headed down to the elliptical trainer and ran for 45 minutes and because I did that it saved my 2 week, workout everyday, perfect record!!! Woohoo!
