Day 26

A strong will makes for a strong fitness program.

You may not think you have a strong will, but you really do. Remember when you were two years old? You tried to run the house. Mine and no were your favorite words. The battle of wills fought between you and your parents drove everybody crazy. It's a difficult time, and parents usually cope by suppressing a girl's spirit, her will. Parents need to learn how to maintain their authority in the home while allowing a girl to retain her strong will. Many of us were crippled when our spirits were broken. The good thing about a break, though, is that it can be mended. Everyday you exercise, everyday you eat right, you're repairing the damage that was done to your will. Every time you say no to a cigarette or drugs or excessive alcohol or unprotected sex, you're building your will.

My will is strong enough to help me meet my health and fitness goals.
