Perseverance

Perseverance is the thought for today ... Monday ... the start of another wonderful week. The very first definition that came up when I searched for the meaning of perseverance was this:
** steady persistence in a course of action, a purpose, a state, etc., esp. in spite of difficulties, obstacles, or discouragement**
Doesn't this describe the journey to weight loss and optimal health?? It can be difficult, full of obstacles and challenges and it can be so discouraging sometimes (esp. when the pounds don't fall off fast enough). But, when you persist in your course of action, following your game-plan to the desired end result ... it is then that you feel a great satisfaction, a great sense of victory for overcoming the difficulties, obstacles and discouragements. Reaching your end goal is always sweeter when you know that you pushed through, didn't give and kept going in the face of unfavorable circumstances.
Best wishes for a persistent week ahead
