Appreciating the little achievements, which step by step pave the way to the larger goals. Like jogging six out of nine days in the new year, after a long hiatus of absolute no jogging. Each feeling of accomplishment and runner's high which follows. And shaving off seven minutes off my original time in nine days on the same route. Eating right, exercising portion control but at times still indulging. Each little thing makes me feel good, and when my motivation begins slack, I need to remember so.
