Set Up... Go

While on vacation, I got tired of eating bad... I got tired of sitting around doing nothing.  The truth is I am a happier person when I eat well & exercise - so why don't I stick with it?  I will... just have to keep trudging along.

this quote:

  Focus on how far you've come... 

not on how far you have to go

has been on my mind a lot these days. 

I have still lost almost 30 pounds in a year - yes, I truly have lost about 70 with the up and down in November & again in May, but I'm down 30 pounds.  I keep thinking that is sad... but its not... its damn good!   I have done a triathlon, crossfit & actually got back on the softball field again.  This has been good.  

I have signed up for my next sprint-tri.  I am excited about x-fit today at 11.  I'm excited about my scheduled 45 min bike ride.  I'm excited about my good 2-block breakfast today! 

Also excited about the cleaning schedule I've got going on for the house.  Being away was nice, but getting back into a routine is going to be nicer!  

I have to stop worrying about the number.  It is only then do I stop.  When I can stop "planning how much I'll loose" or what weight I could be by certain dates, then I do much better.  That is not easy for me.  I will try to just get the workouts done I've set up to do. That is it.  If I do more, if I lose weight -that's obviously ok, but I need to NOT make that what I pride myself in.   

I am trying to find "the quote" or a few quotes to place in my bathroom & desk to keep me happy.  I liked a facebook page of a guy who posts some good stuff regularly - i decided that I am a quote person and that motivates me.  SO... I will be trying to use at least 1 quote in each post.  

"i don't have time" really means "it is not my priority"... make it a priority!
