True satisfaction ...

"Satisfaction lies in the effort, not in the attainment; full effort is full victory."
- Mohandas Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948) Indian Spiritual Leader

Every day I learn something new -- or at least I try to.

Today I "learned" or "discovered" that I treat myself to a cup of cafe mocha at the office just about every morning. Am I sabotaging my physical fitness transformation? Sabotage by chocolate? Am I rationalizing my behavior by saying this is but one cup and doesn't matter? In other words, am I telling myself 'rational lies'?

If I hadn't stopped to read the BFL Guestbook this morning and also stopped to review my fitness & meal log ... Hmmm! ... Sometimes you have to stop along the way not only to smell the flowers but also to examine just what it is you're placing in that coffee cup.
