“You may encounter many defeats,
but you must not be defeated. In fact, it may be necessary to encounter the
defeats, so you can know who you are, what you can rise from, how you can still
come out of it.”
I check the blog a lot mostly to
see if I have any comments because I want to know if I am relatable or not. I
re-read this comment and quote and I really needed this today and I thank you.
Here’s the thing, I’ve gone from
being known as the trouble maker to the negative nancy. I don’t know
where this is coming from and it is upsetting. I think that there is a
distinct difference, though at times it may be hard to tell, between not
wanting to put the work in and being apprehensive about taking on a journey.
I can self-sabotage myself at
any given moment for any length of time and I don’t need anything additional to
worry about. I can’t help but think of how I have been when I have met
with people who are volunteering their time and doing us a service.
Let’s focus on some positives.
This week has been off the charts horrible (food wise) but this morning I made
a conscious decision to take it day by day. It’s pretty obvious that food
is my hugest struggle and I am pretty sure it always will be, but today is
good! (I am going to weigh myself tomorrow morning as I did last week and
the results of this week will be evident there.)
I was on the elliptical this
morning sweating profusely and my heart rate would not go up! I am
obviously getting fitter. (If this is false, please do not correct me.) Also
the lady next to me was singing Eye of the Tiger over her Walkman so I felt
like Rocky for a second, a short second.
More positives…people told me I
did a good job keeping up at Rip! Always good to hear! And this morning a
woman saw me and said I better be there next time! Yeah,
accountability!
I’m going to either Blue or Bald
Mountain this weekend, still to be decided so that’ll be fun!
