Thu, 22 Dec 2011 12:26:01 EST

So we have already shared what we would like our New Years Resolution to be! But we all know that a lot of the times its hard to complete our new years resolution because we have a WHOLE year to complete it and so we keep telling ourselves, "im gonna do it but I have time so I am going to do it next week, or next month, or in a few months!" And then before you know it the year is over and you havent completed ANYTHING! Its happened to me MANY times and I am sure its happened to you!

Weekly check in .. how is your plan going?

Mon, 19 Dec 2011 16:39:21 EST

There is No Try-- LIVINTHELIFE'S BLOG

Fri, 28 Oct 2011 11:37:09 EST

So a couple of days ago, there was a blog post on the daily spark, and the author wrote this quote:

"There is no try, there is only do."

She was discussing her daily yoga practice, but this struck me for my whole life. I've spent a lot of time "trying", but not as much "doing".

In fact this 100 Days Challenge was really meant to get me to go from "trying to track my food" and "trying to exercise" to actually doing these things. Like I have said, weight loss...
