Tomorrow!

My favorite day used to be Tomorrow!
“Tomorrow” is when all of my dreams would come true, so I thought! It is the day I would start my diets, and the day that I would work out. I would clean the house “Tomorrow” and I would save money “Tomorrow”.
Whenever my wife would ask me when I was going to live a healthier life, I would always say, without hesitation:
Tomorrow!
Whenever my wife would ask me when I would start exercising:
Tomorrow!
Whenever my wife would ask me when I was going to do the dishes:
Tomorrow!
Yep, tomorrow was this overweight man’s dream!
Sadly, tomorrow never came. Nope! Whenever Tomorrow came, it quickly turned into “Today”, and then“Yesterday” before I could get a grasp on it. It vanished in thin air.
My bosses at work also knew about tomorrow. That is when I would turn in better numbers. Tomorrow is when I would get out of the office, and make an impact on my kitchen.
“Tomorrow” was also the day where I would get a promotion.
Then, one day, ten months ago, my wife asked me the same questions she has for then last eight years:
“Tony, when are you going to eat healthy?”
I looked at her, and said “Today!”
“What do you mean today. You mean tomorrow, right?”
“No dear, I mean today. I mean right now. My healthy living starts right now.”
The last ten months, I have lived for today. Whenever I want to make a goal happen, I plan on it for today!
Today, I love 3.6 pounds, bringing my total for the year to 205.4 pounds lost. It is also the most I have lost in a week in three months! Wow, on Christmas week!
Today, I got to hear my baby’s heartbeat. It was fast! Puh-dum,Puh-dum,Puh-dum!
Today, I turned in some nice numbers at work.
Today is an awesome day.
Sometimes I wish every day was like today. Oh wait, I control that now.
Every day is like today!!!
Tony, You have been and continue to be an inspiration to me.
[...] Not a bad year. However, I would like to see next year’s total on the first two double (500 miles and 30 pounds lost). I guess I better get cracking… oh wait, I’ve already started… because it starts Today! [...]
