staying in the game

So it's february and I haven't lost more than 2 lbs. Ok. So it's the time when I would normally give up and start earnestly digging into the peanut butter swirl ice cream in the freezer. But I'm not going to do that. I'm going to blog more, and I'm going to keep showing up.

I do these personal development seminars - have done 'em since I was a teenager - and the one thing they always say is that the breakthrough lies in showing up. Because if you don't do your homework, and you're confronted by the stuff you're thinking about, the easy thing to do is to quit going. But even if you don't do your homework, even if you sit like a zombie during the whole session, if you keep showing up, there will be a breakthrough (even if it's just that you came to each session despite the fact that you hated it).

So I'm going to show up. I'm going to blog. It's not going to be out of site, out of mind. I'm going to get back on track.
