Hi everyone. I wanted to make a quick post on consistency and momentum because I've lost both.

 For everyone that's been following me I really appreciate your likes and comments along my fitness journey. But for the past week I haven't been posting or anything. I went to Miami to get an awesome tattoo on my forearm, and I had to bandage it up and because of risk of infection, and was told I can't sweat at all, so I couldn't walk or anything. 

 Because of that, I'm very good at sticking to something, but then when I stop, I go the opposite. So, I ate a bunch of junk food and ice cream and pizza and yummies. Here I am today, a week later I'm wearing my 50 pound vest and I can't even fathom running a 5k with a 50 pound vest that I did last week. 

 Momentum and consistency matter. I know is that it's going to take a couple days of just walking. I say only with a 50 pound vest, just because 50 pounds right now is not really that big of a deal to me, but that's only because of consistent walking for a year, building up to this. But I'm starting to walk again over the next couple days and I know that the momentum will start propelling me, and the consistency. 

 But here I am today and it sucks, sucks losing that, but I appreciate everyone's support. So another thing I wanted to add for everyone that's been following me, if you were in the same boat that I was a year ago where I just felt like crap and I just knew I needed to make a change, all it takes, I'm not an expert in this. I'm just relaying what I did and how it helped me. But I just started walking. 

 You can get up and walk for even 10 minutes a day, but do it every day. And after a couple days, you'll start feeling better and then you'll drink more water. You then might make a decision to eat healthier, then you walk a little farther. And that snowballs and that consistency is magic.It took a year, but my whole life is transformed. 

 So if you just take small, consistent action, just get off the couch, get up in the morning, put on some shoes and go walk for 10 minutes. Do that a couple days every day for 10 minutes and you're going to feel better. And then you're going to walk for 15 minutes. Then you're going to walk for half an hour. And then you'll start running or adding more weight, and then you'll go to the gym.

 All that it just starts with, because again, I'm normally an all or nothing person. I would always try to go to the gym for an hour every day, six days a week, but then that fails. It's always failed me and I'm good for a couple days or even a couple weeks, and then you stop, and then I eat all the crap and junk food.

 What worked for me was this, that small, consistent compounded daily actions. So you guys can do it too. Just get off the couch and walk for 10 minutes. And I promise you, after three or four days of walking for 10 minutes, you're going to feel better about yourself just because you accomplished what you told yourself you do, and then you'll make healthier decisions and that will... In a year, your life will be changed just like mine is.
