Improving Your Health Is Not A Once and Done Effort

Improving Your Health Is Not A Once and Done Effort

The truth hurts sometimes... And those who follow me know that I don't hide the struggles I face. I have mentioned many of the ones below,

It is important to understand that living a healthy lifestyle is about balance. Part of the reason I have gone to the extreme in the past was out of fear of going back to my old ways. I had essentially replaced one addiction with another. Although a healthy lifestyle serves me well overall, anything to an extreme can have its cost.

I don't want to lose sight that prior I had diabetes, sleep apnea, high blood pressure, etc., so I am not beating myself up for being a "health nut" now. Sometimes I just don't know where the middle ground is for me.

I enjoy where I am now and I think that feeling makes me want to do it even more. Again, it's about balance and each day I am learning and improving.

My mission and purpose is to Inspire People To Take Charge Of Their Lives And Their Health By Being An Example Of What Is Possible. I will continue to share the struggles I face so that people will understand how I deal with them. These are the areas in which people give up. Learning how to overcome these challenges and keep it moving has been the key to my success.

Taking care of yourself is not a once and done effort. It is a lifelong commitment to you and those who care about you.

And YOU, my friend, are worth it. ??
