Is Every Day a "Feel it" Day?

Sometimes I get the question "How do you stay so motivated, day in and day out?"

The answer?  I don't. 

But it doesn't matter, because my actions are not tied to whether I "feel motivated today" or not, my actions are a direct result of a decision that I made, based on what I am creating with this process of achieving optimal health.

No one can "feel motivated" and "amped up" and "totally stoked" and "hyped up" about this process 24/7.  Some days are just kinda "blah" actually.  Normal.  Just days.  Like any other days.  Sometimes even monotonous. 

So if you are waiting for some "trigger event" to "make you stoked" and "keep your head totally motivated and in the game" then you MAY be waiting for a long time. 

Because the magic of this plan happens in the moments in between those emotional highs.  The magic of this plan is accomplished with that quiet steadfast decision you make daily that your eating and drinking decisions will not waver based upon which way the winds of your emotions are blowing today.

You have to believe that every bite you take of every thing you hold in your hand today matters.  You have to believe that this plan works as written, and if you deviate from it you will NOT go to sleep healthier than you woke up, in fact you could put yourself into an absolute stall or gain just by taking a little bite of this or a sip of that.

Why do you have to believe it?  Well, firstly because it is TRUE.  Secondly, because if you think for a second that it doesn't matter then you are missing the point.

It matters.

Rinse and Repeat!
