Pressing Forward Toward Resolution...

Hamburgers and French Fries...

Resolution - to formally express an intention!

Last week I told you one of my resolutions was not to eat french fries. I must tell you that to date I have pulled that off!! And last week I ate a hamburger, without cheese mind you, and I gave my french fries away! Yes, you heard me, I gave my french fries away!


As for soda - none as of today. As for running, I am underway!
As I commit to resolutions I constantly remind myself that I must press forward to the goal. I cannot look back, and pressing forward is a lot easier said than done!!


See You At The Top'>


One of my favorite speakers and authors is Zig Ziglar. In his book, See You At The Top, he creates a formula for hitting goals.

Three points from that book that ring out in my mind as I press forward toward resolution are:

  1. Goals must be written down!
  2. I must do the actions to in order to acquire the feelings of success.
  3. I must not wait for external conditions to change to start pressing toward my goals!!!

If you haven't read the book See You At The Top, I strongly suggest it and it is my pick of the week!!

Have a good week!!

Resolutions 2008


I love January 2nd. I often say it is the day that most of us become a liar. Oh yes, the resolutions sound great on New Year's Eve, but reality often hits shortly after!

I asked last week... What does resolution mean?

According to dictionary.com, resolution is a formal expression of opinion or intention made. (As you can imagine, there are many definitions, but I like this one the best.)

So my intentions for 2008:
  1. Run 6 miles per week!
  2. Eat only grilled meats - nothing fried.
  3. Consume no french fries.
  4. Consume no sodas!!

Pretty simple!! I will keep you all posted on my progress, and please, say a prayer for me as I will need strength, especially when it comes to the french fries!!
