I was struggling today with what to write about and then I thought of my running and yoga group last night, and I thought I about committment and then I thought, “That’s it! That’s what is screaming at me this week!!”.
My running and yoga group exemplified committment last night in practice. They meet at 7:45 and last night we did Running from the Core. So, not only did they rock out a hill run in the heat, but then their yoga practice consisted of warming core work and twists in a yoga room that seemed to be heated a little more than usual last night. Everyone was “wrung out” to say the least. But, everyone stuck it out. They stayed present and moved through the postures until the yummy end of legs up the wall. In one word, they committed.
So, whether it is exercise or diets or just writing this blog 5 times a week (my new commitment to you and to myself), you just have to do it. I guess it was back int he early 90s that Nike said “Just Do It”. That slogan may be old, its words hold true. Life isn’t going to slow down for us to try new things or start back to routines. Life doesn’t stop so that we have time to get healthier. And, life certainly isn’t going to hold our hand and motivate us through the world. It is our decisions, actions, and commitment that help us navigate to success.
So, while I am still not starting the detox tonight, I did get this blog written. Check. I did practice yoga today for a full hour. Check. Maybe I can whip up the kitchari tonight be before bed and you guys can hear how it tastes in the morning 🙂
What are some of the things you have committed to and stuck with this year? Are there things you have been putting off? Let us hear about them! Sometimes putting it out in the universe helps to get things started!

So somehow I left off the entire paragraph about the detox I keep putting off doing. My bad!! It went something like this…
“All week I have been trying to start a 1 week detox. I keep putting it off because I have not made the kitchari that is the main stay of the diet. I don’t start because I do not have the herbal mixture that supplements the detoxification. I decide to wait because I have a long run that I think the detox will make me too weak for. Basically, I keep putting it off. And I probably will until I call UNCLE! Because, there is never a “good time”, right? Life is always going to get in the way, unless we commit to make the change.”
So that probably makes the title and the blog in general make more sense!!
