Mediocrity: ordinariness as a consequence of being average and not outstanding
I don't take on this attitude in any other area of my life and it's time I stop accepting mediocrity in my journey toward a healthy body...it has been 2 months and although I've made some solid changes and have seen some results, I have been pretty resistant to a full lifestyle makeover and would give myself a solid C+ for effort. The trainers at Innovative have repeatedly mentioned that the goal is a lifestyle change - then maintenance and growth is easy because you're just living it as your everyday life. I have been traveling such an unhealthy path the last years that finding the motivation to make this transition into healthy thoughts, actions, & everyday living is a challenge. I'm ok with a challenge, it's just going to take continually making strides forward (and likely backwards). I do think that it has been enough time that I can start to expect more from myself and really step it up to see the results I'm looking for. I understand why many people taut moderation, but I think right now I need to buckle down and git'er done...it is going to be continual growth and I have absolutely no expectation of perfection, but it is time to adopt a stronger attitude of change.
