Any Given Monday

"The second day of a diet is always easier than the first. By the second day, you're off it." ~ Jackie Gleason

Have you started a diet on Monday and by Tuesday you are rushing through the fast food drive thru with your family ordering the 50 piece nugget meal deal because you have to be to a ball game in ten minutes and it’s the only thing you can eat while driving the car?

Have you started a diet on Wednesday and by Thursday you’ve had such a bad day that the only thing that will comfort you is a dozen of freshly baked chocolate chip cookies?

Have you started a diet on Friday? Why you would do that I don’t know? But suppose you did start a diet on a Friday. You get up early on Friday to work out and by Saturday you are so blasted tired you can’t get out of bed early, let alone find the motivation to even drive to the gym.  And it's Saturday for love of God.

It’s all happened to me and I’m sure similar situations have happened to anyone else that has tried to lose 10 pounds or a 100 pounds. Most of us have started or restarted our diets on a Monday and tomorrow is just that … another Monday. I’m praying that tomorrow those of us trying to get healthy and well and physically fit make it through Monday and by Tuesday we are all still committed to being healthy, well and physically fit.

Immense blessings everyone.
