Plan for Challenges NOW!

Day 27

You’ve worked hard the last 26 days.  You’ve created a new behavior that can turn into a lifestyle.  Make it happen.

It’s inevitable.  Life will throw barriers that can knock you off course. 

What are some of the barriers that prevented you from physical activity in the past? 

Time? Work? Pain? Being Tired?

Life will throw curves.  What will you do?

Make a plan now to deal with these obstacles.  Sometimes it’s up to you to suck it up and make it happen. 

But… other people can be there to help.  Build a support network to help you through the had times.  Family or friends. People at church or other organizations.  Help others yourself, and lean on them to help you.
