Our quote today comes from our 30th president Calvin Coolidge. It is perfect for what we are all involved in with the 8 week challenge and even more then the challenge; Life! Lets keep going. This is the time when most people will drop out. If you have had a couple days or even a week of not doing what you have wanted, look at the situations and adjust, so that you can have incremental success. If you haven't done a cleanse yet, try it this week. If you have, but had some days of not being consistent, it may be good to do a fruit or vegetable cleanse for a couple of days. Lets get back on track and make this worth it.
"Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not ; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan "press on" has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race."
Persistence has become my mantra for the 8 week challenge. The scale didn't budge AT ALL last week. But I'm just telling myself that if I stay true to my eating and excercise goals something will have to change. It can be tough though when results aren't immediate. I guess I better add patience to the mantra too.
