I find commitment is more important as I get older. I will be 50 very soon and I realize that a lot of time has passed and I need to manage my time better if I want to get the things done I want to do alot of things in this life. Staying healthy is vital if I want to feel good, look good, and have energy.
What will be different today? Three things.
1. I am going to print out the commitment quote and read it three times a day.
2. I will write my fitness commitment down today and read it three times a day.
3. I will commit to a specific time each day that I will exercise. I will put the time in my Outlook Calendar.
Are you commited? What will you do differently today? Do it today!

Are you truly commited to getting fit? Part 1 of 2
I know you say you want to get in shape and get fit. I say it too and I know what to do. I worked in a gym and my wife and I did the Bill Philips' EAS Body for Life Couples contest and took second in the country. I should be in great shape. I have not been truly commited for some time. I say I am, but my actions are a different story. I forget how powerful true commitment is.
This is my favorite quote. I have always understood it to be attributed to Goethe, Germany's Shakespeare, but it turns out it was a Scottish Mountaineer. No wonder I love this quote. I love hiking and I'm Scottish.
This quote is so powerful. I encourage you to read it several times and think how it could change your life. Commitment is the key. It has always been so.
“Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way"
The “Until one is committed...” quotation often attributed to Goethe is in fact by William Hutchinson Murray (1913-1996), from his 1951 book entitled The Scottish Himalayan Expedition.
