Today is a good word

I've been thinking about this entry for a while, and with the energy and renewed vigor that comes with the promise of a new year this seemed like the perfect time to put thoughts into words into actions....
Today is a good word
Sitting at my computer, looking at my bodybugg account screen, I put my calories from previous days into the calorie counter. Each week I've made myself step on the scale when I know I’ve set myself back so I can face what I’ve done and move past it, but then I got stuck there. I start beating myself up for my mistakes, my weakness, food addiction, laziness, holiday excuses, etc. A binge here, and lazy day there, it adds up and you can lose your grip. It’s easy to take self reflection and turn it into a pit you can’t crawl out of. But then I click over to “today” and smile. I’ve yet to fill today in. How easy to forget that the best and brightest is yet to be written, and I DO have control over that. The power is ours at the beginning of each day, no matter what we did yesterday, to make the RIGHT choices today, to make things better, learn from our mistakes, fix our problems, create new and better truths for ourselves, and grow. This isn't a yearly resolution that can fade away, it's a DAILY resolution to be your best, to shed the burden of yesterday and look with renewed strength on what you can do for yourself today. Yesterday is knowledge, but today is power. Be sure you take a firm hold on your today and make it the best one yet. Cheers to your health, and here's to 364 new resolutions. I hope you make the most out of each and every one of them!
