A Cherokee elder sitting with his grandchildren told them, “In every life there is a terrible fight – a fight between two wolves.
One is evil: he is fear, anger, envy, greed, arrogance, self-pity,resentment and deceit.
The other is good: joy, serenity, humility,confidence, generosity, truth, gentleness, and compassion.”
A child asked, “Grandfather, which wolf will win?”
The elder looked him in the eye. “The one you feed.”
I received this from a guy in England named Dax Moy. I post a number of the quotes that he sends me here in this blog. Great question. Which wolf are you feeding? Are you feeding the good wolf, or the bad one?
Did you have a great workout today, or did you just go through the motions? Did you even work out today? When we make the goals to lose weight, tone up or get in shape then we are feeding the good wolf. To continue to feed the good wolf, you must take action. Thinking about it won’t make it happen. Try these tips to keep the big bad wolf hungry.
- Make a journal of everything that you eat. When it is on paper, then there is some measure of accountability. Even if you “cheat” write it down. I promise that you will cheat a whole lot less this way.
- Plan your attack. If you have a day planner or use a pocket PC, then schedule in advance when you are going to work out. When you have a plan, then you will make time for it instead of not having time for it.
- Chart your results. You always balance your check book at the end of the month, right? That way you know what money you have spent and/or saved. The same goes for your goals. Measure your waist, chest/bust, hips, thighs and arms to see that good things are happening. This will keep you excited and ready for more action!
