A Rollercoaster of Success and Failure

Ever feel like your weight loss is a Yo-Yo, you lose the weight and then gain it right back? How about your savings account, you same a lot of money and then all of a sudden it is empty. How about any time you start something, you end up back where you started??

I am reading The Slight Edge (again because its that good). In this book, Jeff Olson mentions that the reason this happens is because once you reach your goal, or start seeing results, YOU STOP DOING THE THINGS THAT GOT YOU THERE. Which is so true, you reach your goal weight so you allow yourself the dessert afterall you deserve it. After you saved you money, you have enough for that big item and splurge, and then your savings is back to zilch. The premise of the book is that its the samll daily things that you consitently do, no matter what is what allows you to reach your goals and STAY there!! Its so true, if you just daily continued to monitor you calorie intake, the weight would not come back, or if you continued to daily save a small amount of money, your savings account would still be growing. These small things are easy to do, but they are just as easy NOT to do. Doing them daily NO MATTER WHAT is what sets you apart from everyone else.

Its such a simple idea. Just pick one goal, make a small easy to do task, and do it daily NO MATTER WHAT and success will come.

Some things i am conidering: 
1. 0530 workout NO MATTER WHAT EVEN ON WEEKENDS
2. Read self development book 30 min a day NO MATTER WHAT EVEN ON WEEKENDS
3. Plan and Prep on sunday for my week ahead NO MATTER WHAT EVEN WHEN THINGS GET CRAZY!!

What are some things you can do daily that may overtime create success??
