Numbers don't lie...that doesn't mean we won't.

But then...what is the point of looking at numbers to begin with...if we aren't going to be honest. 

 I thought about that this morning as I was balancing on one foot then the other seeing if it would make a difference on the bathroom scale.  Ah...it did NOT!  I am up almost pound.

I read a post awhile ago that Carrie Wilkerson ( who can be found at www.CarrieWilkerson.com) wrote about looking at your numbers.  In your life, in your business.  So I did.  Really looked at one area at a time.

First health...not enough sleep hours a night...not close to what my driver's lincense says my weight is! But truly does the highway patrol carry a scale when they stop you for speeding? Oh...I digress.

I decided I wanted my "numbers" be look different.  I joined Weight Watchers for their three month trial.  I work crazy hours and eat poorly.  I decided rather than do a crazy fast plan I would make up...you know like only protein...I would go to the experts and follow their plan.

It's been working.  This week I am up a bit.  I was going to pretend I wasn't and then thought...good lord you need an intervention!  Numbers are numbers. 

So after my momentary flight of denial...I shall review what I am eating, drink more water, add more exercise and watch what happens over the next week. 

Seems like a more solid plan then the balancing act on the scale. :)

My point is this... numbers don't lie...that doesn't mean we won't.  But if we want a solid life, built on a foundation that can anchor us as we go forth and continue to create the lives we want - we have to build that foundation on truth.

 Truth in our intentions and truth in our numbers. :) And leave the balancing acts to the professionals!
