Slow and Steady

So I basically realized something today. Rushing and putting pressure on myself is not going to lead me the perfect body any quicker, it's just going to lead to frustration. I know that I wanted to get in shape specifically for my upcoming trip to California, but it's not like once I go there I can stop living this way. This is a lifestyle which takes dedication, passion, perseverance, and a whole lot of heart. I need to take it one day at a time. I feel like that's all I can do.
