My 100 Days Challenge - Day 2 - The Who and the What of Total Commitment

Day 2 is all about commitment - REAL commitment.  It discusses the difference between being "interested' and being committed.   Often we talk about how we plan to lose weight, become fit, etc.  but how often do we take the "no matter what" attitude?   How often do we set up a food and/or fitness plan and then keep making excuses as to why we can't follow them.  With a "no matter what" attitude, there are no excuses!   It's a bit like a marriage...without a real commitment, there is no real relationship.   Similarly, without a commitment to ourselves, the goals and dreams I've set will not be met.   I think it's important to not only discuss the ramifications of a commitment or lack thereof, but also to whom are we making this commitment?  Clearly, it is to ourselves and to no one else, and when we lose our commitment, the only person we truly let down is ourselves.

The question presented is how are we going to demonstrate our commitment to following our goals - no matter what?   In Day 1, I believe I already answered that question.  Each time I need to be reminded of what I need to do to be successful, I will return to Day 1 and re-read them. I will also remind myself of all the things I will be able to do once I reach my goal weight and reach my fitness goals.  I am going to list the three which I consider my primary goals:
1.  To strengthen my body, especially my limbs and joints.
2.  To lose significant weight which will also help decrease the weight I am presently bearing on my limbs/joints, especially my knees.
3.  To be able to truly enjoy my retirement years by becoming healthier and stronger.

My passions are traveling and spending time with my children and grandchildren. I know I will be able to enjoy both of these passions considerably more when I reach the goals I've set for myself.   (note:  I had to change the word "if" to "when"....as the latter to me means total commitment whereas "if" is leaving it up to "fate"!)

I've decided to answer the following question each and every day during this challenge:

What did I do today to demonstrate my TOTAL commitment?
Today, I planned out my meals for the day and stayed under my points.   While I didn't do my walk today,  I had a very active day as I did several hours of housework.  I could beat myself up for not doing my walk, but I won't - as what's important is I kept MOVING!   : )
