Here's where to start
“You want to get in shape, but when you think about how long it's going to take it's overwhelming. Here's where to start:”
Start by starting. Yes, it is going to take time. You didn't get out of shape overnight so why do you think the reverse is a quick fix? As they say, the elevator to success is out of order: you'll have to use the stairs, one step at a time. Instead of focusing on how much time it will take, and that you won't be at your goal even several months down the road, imagine how you'll feel at that point. The future is going to come no matter what we do. Would you rather be on the way to your goals, proud and motivated by how far you've come, or still standing on square one waiting to take the first step?
