Keeping Your Eye On The Goal
Today is Day 60! Yes, 60 days ago was my first all raw foods day ever. In fact, I’ve already forgotten the last cooked food I ate (but I could go back and look for it; it’s probably on my blog).
So to celebrate, we have some friends visiting us from Poland. Of course, they called first and asked my wife if she wanted anything from Poland. As a result, our house is now filled with all kinds of Polish food specialties: cheese, kielbasa…
They have a special way of making the stuff in Poland. Nobody else can duplicate it. Once you’ve opened a refrigerator filled with Polish food, you’ll never forget the smell — and will recognize it instantly should you encounter it in the future.
Of course, I used to love those foods!
What a nice way to observe Day 60, eh?
But I’m on a mission: A mission to reclaim my health and vitality. I choose to focus on that instead of on what I’ve left behind. I suspect that I’ll continue to encounter situations where a “little bit of the old food” may tempt me — perhaps the temptation will never leave. That’s OK; when I encounter these situations, I simply think about where I’m going instead of where I was. The situation will soon pass, all will be well, and perhaps after successfully passing through many of these situations, they will no longer be an issue.
Someday soon I’m going to talk about exercise. I’m doing a few push ups every day and need to expand on that. I did try a bit of running today (just a couple hundred meters) but my legs felt like they were made of lead. I don’t think I’m quite ready for that just yet. On the other hand, the feeling I had today while running is the same feeling I had a few months ago when I’d try to walk a lot. Walking is quite easy now, so I’m sure the running will come in due time.
Stay focused; keep your eye on the goal. Forget about where you’ve been; pay it no mind. Instead, keep on working hard to achieve your goals and take care of yourself.
Smacznego,
Tom
