Hi all!
Wow! It has been a while. Part of the reason is that I have become very busy with my wonderful family and new job. The other reason is that for about 3 months I have not seen a gym more than 2-3 times. Doesn't sound like me does it?
Well, I can say that starting today, I am back! And I need some help along the way. I am guessing some of you do as well. It is important to stay connected to the people that make and help you achieve your goals.
This week I did a 3 day cleanse. It was seriously one of the hardest things that I have done to challenge my own discipline. 3 months isn't a long time but it is just long enough to form really bad habits. Now I am climbing out of that pit into new and familiar lifestyle changes. And today, I finally put all excuses aside and went to the gym! I felt like Happy Gilmore was my conscious saying, "go to your home ball!" And the home was my gym! Success! I made it. I just needed a little "tappy."
“A single event can awaken within us a stranger totally unknown to us. To live is to be slowly born.”
― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
The quote above reminds me of today and this time in my life. I have committed to running the mini marathon. Keep in mind that my least favorite thing to do is run. However, my entire team at work is doing it so I wanted to get in on it. With that commitment, the step of going back to the gym and the cleanse, I am counting this as my "single event" that is going to awaken this stranger inside me.
What single event is going to wake you up? And how will you feel when you have morphed into this wellness stranger and start meeting goals you never dreamed you could? So I am going to ask you to help me with my journey by starting your own today if you haven't in your life or if you have been absent like me for a few months. Join a sports league, start walking, add one vegetable to your meals each day, or drink 8 oz more water than you typically do. Just take one step. That is all it takes.
Talk with you soon!
