31 Days to a Better Body: Day 31- Choices (They are all yours)

I wish I could have given you 31 “secrets” to a better body.

The thing is there are no secrets.

There are only choices.

(source)

Every day we make choices that either move toward our goals.

Every workout is a choice.

Every meal is a choice.

Every thought is a choice.

We choose whether we want to spend a life “dieting” or a life “nourishing” our bodies.

We choose to make that 30 minute workout count or sluggishly walk on a treadmill while reading a magazine.

We choose to love and the accept the body we have or waste energy wishing the genetic lottery would have been different.

We choose to stop looking for the next best thing or to get lost under a pile of false promises.

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” – Mark Twain

Amen to that!!!

Hugs and High Fives,
Jenn

About jennincat

I'm so happy you stopped by my little corner of the web where I write about fitness, food, and amazing women I "meet". I live in California with my wonderful husband and two rambunctious boys. I'm a personal trainer and dreamer. I enjoy most things but some of my favorites are reading, acting, camping, cooking, music, writing, traveling, and being in the moment with my favorite people! You can read more about me here! I hope you stop by often!

These are fabulous reminders that we own our choices, and that we control those choices! Not to mention, there are no secrets or quick fixes for success. It’s all about those little choices that add up, one by one, and result in big things.
