Believe In What You Know!

This week has been a little unsettling for me.  I was sidelined by the doctor from running due to a "little issue" with my toes, lots of blood work, which thankfully, all came back fine, and scheduled for follow-up with the foot doctor.

In the meantime, trying to get the weight back down where I want it to be....and no running?  How can I possibly do that?  How can I possibly lose weight without running?  Oh, my gosh, what am I going to do?!!

No, just kidding.  I didn't panic.  But I was a little unsettled that first day.  Then I thought about it.  Wait a minute.  I lost at least 50 pounds before I EVER started running.  How did I do that?  Think back.  Well, let's see.  I followed the program!  Imagine that!

So this week, I flipped my focus.  I refused to focus on the fact that I couldn't run, refused to let that derail me.  Instead, I focused on what I could do, and surprise, surprise, I had another good weigh-in this morning!!!

TRUST YOURSELF!  BELIEVE IN YOURSELF.  YOU CAN DO THIS!  Don't give up just because things change in your life.  You have to be flexible.  You have to be willing to make changes and "roll with the punches".

Oh, and by the way, that goal I set to do 100 sit-ups by the end of 2013?  DONE!  Guess I'm going to start thinking of a new goal to replace that one.

    1. Thanks! What might have temporarily derailed me was St. Paddy's Day. :) Nah, just one day. Not going to let it knock me "off the track". :)
