It Doesn't Take A Monday

So I'm feeling a little lost after having 4 days "off" from working out.  I have been trying my best at continuing to eat healthy even on New Years Eve and to do some sort of physical activity which caused some of my friends eyebrows to raise on Friday night as we perused the snack table.  Many of them opted for the Mexican Chili dip and sweets or really anything that wasn't overly healthy.  Now I'm not going to lie and say that I steered clear completely but I am proud to say that I limited my intake and managed to eat almost half of the veggie platter lol.

As midnight approached we got onto the topic of resolutions (which I don't make anymore) or plans for the new year.  I told my friends that I had already started my journey to a newer healthier me and again eyebrows were raised.  "What's the point of a New Years resolution if you start it before the new year?"  Was one of the questions that I got to which I simply replied, "It doesn't take a Monday to start something new or to be successful."  When I then asked the same friend (who happens to have a similar goal/resolution to my own) when she would be starting, her answer was, "Well we'll be going to sign up on Monday and then taking it from there, seeing what our schedules look like.  You should totally come with us, it's going to be awesome."  I reminded her again that I had already started and found a gym that I totally love and the conversation changed.

While we were having this conversation, I chuckled to myself because on my second trip to the gym, Jo, Shannon and I had the same conversation about it not taking a Monday to be successful.  Jo even joking around and saying, "I'm sorry Shannon but you can only get fit if you start on a Monday."  I love that I've found a gym where we all seem to be on the same wavelength, it makes me even more determined to stay commited because the trainers there aren't like usual trainers who you're just a number to, they're like friends who know everyone by name.

Don't start living tomorrow, tomorrow never arrives. Start working on your dreams and ambitions today.-Unknown Author
