"If opportunity doesn't knock, build a door", Milton Berle.

I received this quote on the daily email I receive from sparks last week. How do they seem to know exactly what you need to hear? I realized that I had put away that door several months ago and was using that as an excuse not to do what I needed to do to countinue my journey.

So I am dedicating July to "building Doors for Opportunity" Opportunity to improve my self esteem, opportunities to eat right, opportunities to exercise (bathroom pushups here I come) opportunities to drink water, opportunities to play with the family, opportunities to ride my horse more. Everywhere I turn this month I'm looking for an opportunity to improve my life!

Now to motivate myself to look for opportunities I need some goals and starting places to see how I'm doing.
1. Weight 222.5 - goal lose 8 pounds or get to 214.5. Ok this is a big goal, but it is in line with a new team I've on and well maybe if I make a tough goal it will be more motivating than my normal 5-6 pound monthly goals.
2. I got the Biggest Loser 30 day Jumjpstart book. The goal for this month is to follow the exercise routine daily (this is my minimum amount of exercise).
3. I want to record a daily pledge of something I need to do and then do it! This will keep me actively thinking about what I need to do and help build my motivation.

I usually at this point add in water and food goals, but lately I have been struggling so July is going to focus on exercise. Once I get back in a pattern with that I'll stress more.

July Results.
I'll edit this post in August and post how I did.
