Even though......
Whatever it is for me and for you.....we need to push through!
This morning I got up...not prepare for the day or the week. I don't really feel good and my back is smarting (for those too young....it means it hurts like heck!!!) My house is a mess, I have part of my fall decorations up. My check book is a mess and I have bills to pay. There is no food in the house...we are almost out of toilet paper - now that is a near emergency!!! I have invitations to make....about 30 to go! I have daffodil bulbs and pansy's to plant.....Plus I need to work, exercise, take care of my family and myself...all the while not feeling 100%....with a bad back and I have a cold coming on.
Whew!! I'm tired just thinking about all of this.
Wah wah wah....that's all I hear!
But you know what? None of that matters, because I'm still pushing through! I've decided to have a fabulous attitude about all of this busyness. I guess this all means I'm alive....I've got things to do and people to take care of. I have purpose and exciting things to look forward to. This is awesome!!!!
So for today, I'm planning ahead and I'm pushing to get things done, with joy! I'm going to get stuff done, I'm going to have a great food day and a kick butt exercise day. I can't wait!!!
I can do this!!!
How about you...Are you pushing through?
Keep focused!

Day 67 - 7 Month Focus
Yesterday I went to the gym and I wore this t-shirt I just got. As I took it off and threw it in the locker, I was amazed at how little fabric there was to this shirt. I mean this thing weigh oz's verses the large sized (3x) shirts I used to wear. Those things weighed a ton! Now when I pack to go on a trip, my hubby and I can share a suitcase. All my stuff fits. No more yards and yards of fabric. Kind of fun.
Just another reason why this journey is so fun and worth the effort. Every day I see new things and experience stuff that I forgot about.
In my stability ball class last night, the teacher was talking about these push ups that we were going to do. There were 4 levels. She said, level 1 & 2 are really easy, level 3 is a lot harder and then level 4 is almost impossible. Well she had us do level 1 & 2 first and then she had us do something else. I guess we needed to let the muscles recover from level 1 & 2. Then we got back to level 3. It was hard, but very doable. So then she had us do level 4. I had forgotten what she said about level 4. Remember, she said it was almost impossible. So anyway, I do what she asks and I hear her shout, "Look at that form!!" She was yelling at me. I guess I hit it. Really with no problem! She said, "You trainer is really working you. You are very strong." Isn't that cool?
I guess I'm telling you this because if I would have remembered that this was "Almost Impossible" to do, I would have believed her. She's the professional, she knows what she knows about her work. If she tells me it's impossible then I would believe it. After hearing that, I might have tried to do it, but would not have pushed a little harder to make sure I got it done. I would have failed.
I had a physical therapist tell me I would "never" do something....and here I am today, doing exactly what he said I would never do and that is run and row boats. I can do both of these and can do it without injury to my body.
So my point is, don't let anyone ever.....ever.....EVER tell you, you can't do something (unless it's illegal or immoral - then don't do these thing!) But if it's something about your health and weight loss, you do what you know you CAN do!! You push through. You prove them wrong. You make stuff happen.
I'm not going to limit myself anymore. I am going to try things and if I really like them, then I'm going to keep on trying until I get it. Nothings stopping me!!
How about you....Do you listen to the Neigh Sayers or do you get what you want done?
