Valediction
Valediction is defined as "the act of bidding farewell or taking leave".
It is in this spirit that I write today, as I begin the process of bidding farewell to the things that have impeded my progress (both in weight loss, and life in general).
Today marked the third consecutive (fourth overall) day this week that I got up and went to the gym, first thing in the morning. I like starting my day off this way. My goal for next week is to get in five or six mornings out of the week.
Over the course of this journey, I hope to say goodbye to many things like: poor heating habits; weight-related health issues; premature fatigue; laziness; guardedness; and lack of discipline to name a few.
I'm not perfect now, nor do I plan to be in the near future. However, it is my sincere hope that at the close each day going forward I will be a little closer to my ultimate, albeit cliche and Wicked, goal as a person; changed for the better, changed for good.
