Today begins a sprint. A not fun sort of a sprint. The commitment to fast from all sweets and sodas has been made this morning. And to fast from food network as well. It's a weird combination of things to give up for a month, but it is a set of factors that will contribute to reclaiming the discipline needed to avoid seeing my bottom line increase in all the wrong ways.
If I tackle all the areas where I am undisciplined, I will fail in ways large and small. Shouldering a burden of growing disappointment and discouragement is completely counter productive. So. I have identified dropping the relatively few pounds that reclaimed from my original weight loss as a step toward the disciplined life. (Not the creepy kind of "discipline" people offer on the internet, but the good kind that's chock full o' "stick-with-it-ive-ness".)
Recognizing that the priorities set in life, whether intentionally or incidentally, reflect whose I am, I find the need to be far more intentional in setting the order of each day. To be disciplined. Right now, I am short of the mark. In multiple areas. But I will start with this one. Covering this short distance will recover the muscle memory of what it is to run with purpose toward the goal.

You're absolutely right. Small steps and build on that - much greater chance of long term success.
Small steps are a good way to start. They say it takes six weeks to break one habit and develop another....Good Luck!
