Today's Motivation: Fighting for My Life. This is about getting healthy. This is about fighting those temptations, bad habits, and unhealthy decisions that I have made over my life. I need to fight for my future.

I achieved all of yesterday's goal except for 60 minutes of exercise. Exercising in the evening is not something that comes easily to me. . . but I did exercise in the morning and I did complete my menu plan and all of my choices were good.

Today - it is about my health. I want to live a long life. And if I'm going to do that, I'm going to need to lose this weight. I want to stay positive about where I am today. I've been heavier and felt worse. I've been lighter and felt better. But it is today that I need to focus on. Today is what I have. Yesterday has past and if I want a tomorrow, I've got to focus on what am I going to do today that will make my future better.
