SparkPeople Translation: You can always sit around and wait for somebody else to do it, right? Wrong! Sometimes, it is only through your own initiative that things will get done. Maybe others will help you, maybe they won’t. But if you really care about a certain project, don’t hesitate to act yourself. Rely on yourself to be productive. Most of the time, a quick fix won’t do the trick. It might take a lot of effort over a long period of time. Hopefully, though, you’ll find the end result to be worth it. Go out and make magic happen.
I’ve lost a total of 129 pounds now and my BMI has dropped from 47 to 26.1! One more pound to go and I will be able to collect a SparkPeople 130 pound weight loss trophy!
