I always say that I'm a type "A minus". What I mean by this is that while I have goals, I sometimes I jump off my planned path to success as another type of experience or opportuinty might come along (such as a last minute dinner out with friends, a long walk with the dog and a good cup of tea as opposed to a hard run, or a good night's sleep instead of waking up at 4:30 a.m. to hammer out yet another early morning swim workout). As with anything in which you want to succeed in life, most of us benefit from a planning a path to get there. A path paves the way to a road of success (and if you need to jump off of it every once in awhile, just take a hiatus, enjoy it, and get back on). Remember, be mindful but not militant. Making incremental changes toward a healthier lifestyle is the key to success!
