During my year of the get fit challenge, I found the same obstacles: eating while traveling, making time to work out, not giving in to the stress and eating (and drinking) too much. Couple that with well intentioned friends (and relatives) who would really rather you just stay as you are. I learned to just nod to those folks and do what I need to do – but it will always be a challenge. It is still and it was then! But I keep the goal in mind: being the healthiest, most productive person I can be. The best I am capable of – and that’s what you need to keep in mind too – Have goals – and stick to them. When you fall, pick yourself up (no yelling at yourself!) and start again – right then. I did it – You can too!!
