Today, Tomorrow......?
This is a question I've asked myself many times lately. Dave Ramsey has a saying..."Adults devise a plan and follow it. Children do what feels good." It's hard to answer my question after reading Dave's quote.
There are SO many thing that I can (and have) used to "justify" doing what "feels good"....I didn't get much sleep because the baby kept me up (yeah, but what about Mom.."sleep, what's that"); My exercise socks or clothes aren't clean (well, DUH, wash them); The exercise room, and most important, the treadmill, is covered with stuff from getting ready for the baby (um, the baby's here and there's not that much stuff, do something with it, but at least clean off the treadmill); Lunch didn't sit well (are you sure? At least, next time eat smarter, you knew what would happen if you had Rosie's); What if....? (Well, there no "IF, if there's no "DO"); I didn't "succeed" last time. (You bought into the "We're losing the war" argument. Meanwhile, you were making progress and then just quit. "You can't expect to win the war unless you put up a fight")
And I could keep going. But it really does come down to something Mike said in a comment to my last post...."It's all a matter of how badly you want something." And it's a matter of how much am I willing to fight for what I want...."Adults devise a plan and follow it. Children do what feels good."
Obviously, this post is as much for myself as it is for anyone else. But, maybe there will be something that hits home with someone.
To be frank, I'm tired. Not so much physically, but more so emotionally and spiritually. I'm tired of not doing the things that I need to do....not being the person I need/should be. But, it is up to me to do something about it. And the time is now.
Till Next Time....Get Moving Forward!!!!

Walk on the dreadmill it helps. Even when you are tired.
Main Street is coming...And there is no stopping it.

"You can't expect to win the war unless you put up a fight"
What was that line from Fight Club?
Oh yeah. "rule number one there's no talking about fight club"
As a member of Team Voice I say baloney, this is a Fight. And we can only support one another when we are willing to share about whats going on. So keep your thoughts coming and get in there and Fight Fight Fight. We are here for you.
On Wednesday you said, "And the time is now." It is currently "now" + 2 days. So what have you done since this post?
So how is the training going? Did you run in the elevator fun run today? How's the family? If you keep in touch with us we can help you when you need it the most.
According to Dictionary.com:
Now: without further delay; immediately; at once;
So, now one week later and only 11 weeks until the big race. No exercise reports from the last week? Did you take the later path from Dave Ramsey?
Byron where are you dude? I was expecting to find an update today.
Byron,
What's going on man?
On April 10 you said that it had been 90 days since you last exercised (that makes it somewhere around Jan 12). Have not seen another exercise post since. Does that mean you really haven't exercised since January (9+ months!)?
