Perseverance...a big word

Sometimes when I think about what I want to achieve...it seems to be harder to do when I get more mature. Could it be I'd became a lot 'wiser'...able to rationalize all the 'why nots' or could it be because I know I have a lot of more exciting easy options in life... I was exercising at the gym this morning and met a nice young lady on a threadmill...I thought to myself I was once looking as good and weigh as little as she... now that I needed to trim my weight badly for health reasons...it does seem double if not tripple hard to loose 1 kg. Well, yesterday on Channel 9 they had a lady on air who used to weigh 195 kg and was able to loose 40 kg just by doing two hours of exercising each day ...this calls for a lot of hard work, patience, perseverance for over 10 months to achieve that...am putting 'that big word' to a test, so hopefully when I blog in February 2010 on the same subject...I hope I will be able to measure up and loose all that kgs I needed and hence, able to fit into my teenage jeans...
