How to Actually Follow Through with Long-Term Goals
I know all too well what it’s like to start the day off with the best intentions only to flake faster than a day-old croissant. Because let’s face it, knowing how to actually follow through on goals is hard. Especially the long-term ones.

I had no motivation for fitness in my younger years, but I had been blessed with a relatively high metabolism back then. It was something a shock when the weight started to creep on in my mid-twenties. It started innocently enough. A couple of pounds gained over the holidays. A size up in pants each time I went shopping. But then I started to feel sluggish, unmotivated, and struggled with long stretches of low mood that bordered on depression.
