Lifelong commitment!

Falling off and getting back on track to my weight loss goals is become a regular thing now. I'm not really proud about getting off track and so this time I'm not going to talk about how good it feels getting back on track. I'll wait till a considerable amount of time passes staying on track and then maybe explore that topic.

I will however mention that I slept determined to wake up early and go for my morning walk and I did just that. Most pleasant walk I've enjoyed in quite some time. So quiet. Absolutely no traffic. No Noise. That's two types of pollutants I didn't have to worry about. The sun was just the right amount warm and it was just perfect. While walking I had many thoughts running through my mind. My travel plans while I'm here. Shopping list. Gifts for my family I'm going to buy. My weight loss goals. The buck stopped there. I started to come up with strategies on how I intend to achieve that.

Just while my mind was busy doing that I saw a few people come towards me. They came closer and I saw a little girl on her bike, her older brother and their mum were jogging along side her. They both had their earphones plugged in listening to their favourite tracks. They passed me and we greeted each other and continued along our ways.

As we crossed each other I found myself thinking about what kind of life I'd like to have when I have a family of my own. I realised that all this focus on fitness doesn't stop at me achieving my weight loss goals. It is a lifelong thing. If I want to enjoy an active lifestyle when I have kids, run around with them playing games and teaching them the importance of staying fit for a healthier life I'll have to live it everyday. Yes, I've heard the part about making fitness a lifelong decision before and apparently when you accept that you stop thinking about being "on track" and "off track." You automatically are always on track (Hope I haven't lost you) 

I guess that concept just hit me with exceptional clarity today. So here I am ready to raise a toast to new depths of understanding and hope to make fitness a part of life. Now if you excuse me its bed time and I want to be up early 'cause another 10 hours of cardio await me tomorrow. What? didn't get it? Its the 4th of July tomorrow which means a mega sale here in the USA..... So... Good night...... I need all the rest I can get tonight.
