I got an email this morning from SparkPeople and loved this quote. I love this saying because I think there’s even more meaning with weight loss and fitness goals. Sometimes even standing still is better than quitting or going backward and gaining weight back. Sometimes standing still, maintaining weight loss and fitness goals, is tough!!!! It appears that is where America fails….we can ALL lose weight but can we keep it off? Can we stand still and maintain our weight loss? That still takes a lot of work and effort (and self control)! That still takes exercise and a maintanence level of calories.
For me, I’m struggling with how slowly the progress is happening but that’s what happens when you lose it for good! When you lose it the right way it takes time. When you lose fat and not muscle it’s a slow process! I’m working hard and succeeding at enjoying the process….I hope you can too!!!

SO TRUE!!
I am working on standing still – it is not easy when you have been running for years, but it is quite peaceful.
I agree fitness and health a lifetime responsibility just like washing your hair, cleaning the house and going to work..it always needs to be taken care of and we are accountable!
I love that quote too. Being fit is always a work in progress and sometimes you will feel like you are standing still and that is where people tend to give up.
