The Lull

Starting body transformation plans? Easy.
Starting diets? Easy.
Sticking to your plan? Not easy.

I find that I'm entering one of those periods in my plans where I experience ambivalence. I want to push ahead and get rid of my newly-acquired 'padding', but at the same time there is the desire to 'take it easy' with my eating. Maybe you're familiar with that voice in your head? That annoying, yet utterly convincing part of you that makes the excuses for you.
"c'mon you don't need to be that thin"... "just one more piece of cake won't hurt"... "you can always get back on track tomorrow"... There are millions of such excuses created by your inner 'wimp'.
'Wimp'? You ask.
Yes. That voice is the reason that you don't achieve all that you can. It's the reason you bail out when things get a little too difficult. It makes you a wimp whenever you listen to it rather than your purposes and goals. It deserves to be harpooned and thrown overboard to the sharks. You can be much better if you get rid of it.
So, what I'm gonna do now is start hurling mental spears at that voice. Every time I feel a 'take it easy' or a 'tomorrow is another day' I will throw my mental 'NO!' spear and 'DO IT!' javelin at that annoying twit.
Starting now. I have a workout to do today, and I will not miss it simply because its the coldest day of the year so far. And I will stick to my diet.
I'm in the mood to kick a little a$$...
