Every time in my life that I have had a great idea that required a commitment, I've started strong, at times kept to a schedule, routine or diet for a few weeks, but then, I miss a day, I fall of the wagon, I have one bad night of eating and the wheels come off. In a previous post I mentioned my last stint with the South Beach Diet. I stuck to the diet for 4 weeks, only to have one day off for the Super Bowl, and I've been celebrating the Super Bowl ever since. Off the top of my head I can recall at least 15 different programs, diets, ideas that I've had that lasted a week or two on, then fffft out like a candle.
This is me...breaking that cycle (hopefully). I started this blog a week ago with the intention of writing nightly of my "quest of self improvement". Last night after a long day and night of events, I got home and crashed, not writing a post. Were there ways that I could have avoided missing a post? Sure - I couild have posted in the morning, written while I enjoyed my morning coffee. But alas, I didn't think about that. Instead, I missed a post. It would have been easy for me to write off the project, to cut my losses and move onto the next idea. But that's not what this blog is abouit. It's about the improvement of myself, the change of my unproductive habits. Hopefully this keeps my inner sloth at bay and keeps the process in motion. Only time, and a blog post tomorrow night, will tell.
