I like this song by I think its Brandy. The most striking thing about it is the line almost doesn't count.
Well day 3 and YES am still going strong. I actually woke up and did my share of the workout even after just 3 hours of sleep. Maybe it was a coincidence to mark day 3 of the choice I made. Well I know you are probably wondering how the word almost comes into play here. As I went to bed I promised myself that I would wake up and continue with what I started. I was so tempted to deactivate my alarm but my inner voice and that attitude I have picked could not let me do that. I did snooze the alarm for like 2 minutes but it seemed like a nanosecond. I thought to myself, what the heck you know what if I don't do this I will break the cycle the one I have worked so hard to make it revolve.
I jumped out of bed and put on my attire and I put my best foot forward and did it. Half an hour was over before I could make another excuse. So almost comes into play here. Guess what those two minutes that I snoozed my alarm they cost me. I missed the bus. My usual 6 o'clock bus? Yes I did. Because of 2 minutes. See I almost caught the bus but it took a turn and it was gone. The word almost is supposed to make for an excuse but it just goes ahead to prove that its either this or that, no in between. It doesn't count at all when you say you know what I almost did that, I almost went there, I almost threw it, I almost did the work out or I almost got the bus. Fact is you DIDN'T. You did not do it and so it doesn't count. Its a pity the eating healthy bubble burst but I guess it can still be repaired. I lost my battle for eating healthy food. Don't blame me though blame it that temptation had to present itself in the way it did. Unfortunately I did nothing to fight it and thats where the guilt comes in. I had a choice to make and I picked a BAD CHOICE. Well all is not lost though I think I should stop making excuses. I should stand up to the choices I pick and be ready to face the consequences. I guess somehow this bad choice is what made me jump out of bed in the morning. Its what made me stop snoozing the alarm for another hour put on the workout kits and get on with the exercises. I do hope the equation balanced itself out but in future I will strive to make the good choices.
All said and done it is important to appreciate the people we love no matter what especially if they are family. We are always busy seeking approval from other people willing to bend rules and break our backs for them so that you can get what? A nod? Family will always be there for you no matter what, no matter the season or reason. We need to appreciate them and let them know that you will always be there for them. So on that note make it a point to tell a loved how much you love them, if not everyday, then do it often.
