Experiencing a plateau can be likened to stirring the sauce for Sunday macaroni supper. It will take time to heat up.
Sometimes engaging in a repetitive act is necessary. It can seem like you are not getting anywhere. What is the purpose of doing the same thing over and over?
It is to get in the groove of a healthy habit. The secret sauce you are simmering is your recovery. It could take years to get to where you want to be.
The Changeology book goal-setting method is a 90-day action plan comprised of 5 Steps:
Psych
Prep
Perspire
Persevere
Persist
Committing to executing the plan for 90 days can set in motion a healthy habit that lasts.
In coming blog entries I will talk about a couple goals I set that have stuck.

Soon it will be coming up on one year since I first started making these changes.
My own experience with setting these goals might empower you to go after your own goals with gusto.
