I normally don't go in for New Year's resolutions, I've really never seen the point, but I'm going to make an exception this year. I am normally a procrastinator with great bursts of energy followed by long bouts of lethargy. I've always claimed that I work better under pressure, but the truth is I'm a procrastinator. Why do today what you can put off 'til tomorrow? However, my husband has been an inspiration to me. I have learned in the last two months the value of daily actions. Over the course of 4 months he has lost 80 pounds by doing two things. He has started controlling his intake and exercising every day. He is religious in his exercise routine. He simply walks/runs every single day, rain or shine, cold or hot, windy or still. That's his big secret, consistency. Oooh, I shudder when I say that word. Consistency, it's like nails on a chalk board to me. But, I am beginning to see the pros of consistency. A little bit every day. Instead of waiting and having to face this great big task, why not do a little bit each day? So, my resolution for this year? Be consistent in the little things. Posting, balancing my checkbook, doing my laundry, picking up. Who knew?
