Wow, I don't know what Joelle is putting in the water for the Bahama Mama Challenge, but I've lost another kilo (2.2lbs). And here I was worrying I'd put on this week because of a spectacular loss last week.

Days like today are great. The sun is shining, Spring is springing all over the place a week early and I've had a good loss.

These are the easy days. The days of the good loss, the days you achieve a goal, the days when something fits that never has before.

But most days are not like this. Most days are in between days.

You know the days I mean.

The days you can barely drag yourself out from under the covers to go for that damned walk. The days you are this close --><-- to eating your own body weight in donuts or corn chips or whatever your weakness is.

The days you just can't be bothered drinking all that damned water or counting every bite or going to the gym or taking that dietary supplement or journaling your feelings.

Or doing any of the stuff you need to do to get where you want to be.

But you do it because if you don't, you'll never get there. You plod along and grit your teeth and suck it up because you never want to go back to where you were.

The thing to remember is that it's not the glory days that get you where you need to be. Sure, they are great motivation and they help keep your eye on the prize.

It's those plodding, teeth-gritting in between days that get you to goal. So just remember, when your butt is stuck to the sofa and you feel like you just can't be arsed doing anything, it's another in between day, another day for you to take the opportunity to get closer to the finish line.
