Each tip had some great insight. I especially like tracking how far you've come. It's so easy to forget your progress and lose the motivation that can be had from the recognition of those previous steps. Eric. Thanks Ali, for sharing this excellent post!

I get too excited about too many things! Pace, I really like the idea of going over the list daily. It could be part of a great first-thing-in-the-morning routine. Patricia, what a fantastic goal to have for your health! Best of luck with it -- the pneumonia sounds like a huge challenge, but I'm sure you will be able to overcome it. (Give yourself the time you need to recover, though, even if it means pushing your goal date back a couple of months.) Jeremy, I'm the one who should be thanking you for the opportunity to guest post! It's always a priviledge to get to poke my head into other people's blogs. :-) <abbr><em>Ali Hale´s last blog post..<a href="http://www.alphastudent.com/knee-jerk-reactions/" rel="nofollow">What are you having a knee-jerk reaction to?</a></abbr></em> Writer Dad — yep, I too have the problem of slowly taking on more and more and more projects… I get too excited about too many things!

I am actively working on getting back into the saddle of being the healthiest I have ever been in my life by next August....but this round of pneumonia taking a month to recover from really left me flat on my back on the ground.

One additional thing that I find helpful is to take the list I made in Step 1 and find ways to remind myself of it often. Posting the list on the wall helps me, but I see it so often that it sometimes becomes background noise. Making a daily habit of going over it and getting excited, right before I have a chunk of time to work toward my goals, that's helped me a lot. <abbr><em>Pace´s last blog post..<a href="http://paceandkyeli.com/2008/11/11/come-home-black-sheep/" rel="nofollow">Come home, Black Sheep.</a></abbr></em> Good suggestions!

These are all good tips. I used to be a lot better about this as I had less on my plate, but as it's become fuller, I've become more relaxed in some of my methods. This is not a good thing.
