Where Is My Focus?

"Never give up on a dream just because of the time it will take to get there. The time will pass either way."  I just read this today from my fitness coach.  I've asked this of myself many times.  When I think of my dream, is it to loose weight because of a number, look better in clothes, because I can't walk 1 flight of stairs without getting out of breath or is it because I want to be healthy all around?  I can honestly say I've never given up on this dream and I may fool myself but the dream is to look thin.  Something has occurred to me though. I could be thin and still out of breath when I get to the top of the first flight of stairs. So, I'm a thin unhealthy woman.  Is this what I want my dream to be?  Next, this dream. Over 30 + years, how many times have I started my way to being thin? I have no idea how many times I started but didn't stick to the dream because of I'd just give up. Why? Because it would take so very long. Well guess what, the time still passed and I am now even heavier. 
Insanity!
I've done the same thing over and over through out the years and

have had the same results. So, I think I may have this finally

figured out. It's my focus. Rather then on weight, focus on moving

every day and focus on eating the food that will work for me, not

against me turning what I eat into more fat going through my body.
 
I have found two  separate places where I am getting the help I need to keep moving daily and eating the foods that works for me.  I found them within the same week I begun to figure this all out. The first one is Grow Young Fitness aimed at Seniors of any age.  The other one has been from a heart doctor named Arthur Agatston M.D. He is the dr. that wrote the book and has brought to me the health plan for daily eating.  The name of the book is the South Beach Diet.  As I write my daily blog, I will report on my successes following these two programs.

Keep Moving for Life!
