Transformation Step 1

I'm starting a journey.
This isn't a sprint.
This is training for something greater and really accomplishing lasting change.
This isn't a quick fix, a fad, or something that just sounds good.

I am going to morph myself into something greater. Physically and spiritually. I have had a desire to change things that I didn't like about myself for the longest time. I wanted to quit smoking for a long time, and I've accomplished that! I'm at over 90 days without a cigarette.  If I can do that on my own. I know that I can accomplish anything. And with help and support I can do so much more. I'm not talking about just eating better and working out more, I want to get to a point where I don't think about it, its just who I am and what I do. Being physically fit is definitely a goal of mine. I've been running on and off for the past few weeks. Not really as consistently as I'd like, but at least I'm doing it. Its starting to become a habit. Which is something that I'm really happy is happening.

Instead of saying I'm going to flip the healthy switch tomorrow. Or next week. Or any day or whatever I'm going to slowly turn off the unhealthy habits. One by one. Keeping a lasting change and expecting to just drop everything in one day is unrealistic, like I said, this is training myself to become better. The final race will never happen, but there's things along the way where I can benchmark my progress.

Some things that I need to get eliminate from my life by order of hardest.

1. coffee
2. Drinking
3. Eating out
4. soda
5. over eating
6. energy drinks
7. skipping workouts

Those are just a few, but in 6 months from now I'd really like to be able to quit drinking coffee. Right now I'm just setting goals for myself, I'd like to accomplish all of them, eventually. I know some are a lil unrealistic, but I think by writing down what I want to do I'll be a little more conscious about them. All in all I want to achieve a lasting and meaningful change.
