Finishing 2009 Strong

I read Tom Venuto’s blog/website called BurnTheFatBlog. In fact, I downloaded his e-book a few years ago, long before I started to actually read his website. Didn’t start that until I started blogging in February. His post from today is about Why is finishing 2009 Strong & and starting the new year on the right foot an ABSOLUTE Must for you? He’s turned it into a contest and I am not interested in entering the contest per se but I am interested in answering the questions for myself. Here is what I have come up with.

Why is finishing 2009 STRONG an ABSOLUTE MUST for you?

I started to “seriously” tackle my weight problem in September 2008 (again). It obviously wasn’t serious enough because I’ve only managed to lose 25lbs in almost 14 months. I no longer want to give this a half assed attempt. I MUST get serious and do something today. I MUST regain control of my body and my life. I want to start living my life to its fullest. This isn’t something that I want to wait until January 1^st, 2010 to start the year again, to try to do this again, to get serious again. I MUST do this now and I want to finish what I started. No more wasting time. I am STRONG and I am in CONTROL.

Why is starting 2010 on the right foot a TOTAL MUST for you?

Each day, I am getting a little older, making this weight loss journey just that little bit harder the longer I wait. The stronger, more fit my body is, the easier the weight will come off and stay off. I will always have to maintain it by being fit & healthy but once I’m there, I’ll have it under control. I want to be healthy, fit and strong. I WILL take care of this body that is housing my spirit and soul. It deserves the best!

What are the REASONS WHY you want to be in better shape the first week in January 2010 than you are today?

Because I need to get in shape now, not wait 45 days (or whatever it is). Why procrastinate? Why put off until tomorrow what you can do today? I can make pretty good improvements in all facets of my life before Dec 31^st, and I plan on doing just that. I am no longer trying, I am going to DO. I MUST start living life for ME and being in shape is important. It’s time to get my grove on …… What the heck am I waiting for????

And, why MUST you do this now instead of being a procrastinator and waiting until January to make a New Year’s “resolution?”

I don’t do “resolutions”, this is a life style!

I AM in CONTROL!

So there you have it. I probably will update this a bit over the next few days so that I have what I want written out, then I’m going to print it and post it in my room, on my treadmill, wherever I want to review my goals…. Cause really, that’s what this list is.

I hope everyone has a FANTASTIC day and makes good choices.

I know I am.
