New dawn, new day, new you

After a very rough holiday season, I woke up this morning to a new year. Everyone commenting on how 2016 is going to be the best yet.

Interesting.

All these people who will start a diet today, or Monday to get the holiday totally over…

The gyms are PACKED this morning with resolutions… Again, interesting.

For the first time in my life, I woke up on January 1st and didn’t think “today is a new beginning” because honestly… I’ve been rocking this for over a year… And when I started IP, I refused to wait for a Monday, the holiday to be over, the last meal… It was simply time… And that is a new mindset for me.

For those of you taking up this lifestyle, don’t think about what you can have when you finish… Learn to enjoy new foods, make the best choice in the moment, and figure out what triggers you. Start now… Live now… Be as healthy as you can NOW.

IP works, but like anything else, it only works if you work at it. If you don’t feel good about your recent choices, fix it. Trust me… It can be fixed… But do it now, don’t wait for “perfect” timing. Now is the perfect time.

I can honestly say… I am the healthiest I have ever been, and I am so glad I didn’t waste time getting here… I blinked, and it’s been 8 months of maintenance! This is me, fresh from my workout this morning… I see muscles!!!!! OMG I SEE MUSCLES!!!!!
