What do these SMART people have in common?
Patience and Perseverance - NEVER GIVE UP!
"Fall seven times, get up eight"...Chinese proverb, Winston Churchill said ""Never give in. Never. Never. Never. Never." and our most memorable of all "Unless you puke, faint or die, Keep Going!...Jillian
Are you catching the common theme in these famous quotes?
"In tennis, losing one point isn’t the end of the world. It happens to the best of them. In fact, if you can consistently win a few more points that you lose, you may end up in the hall of fame. With healthy eating and exercising, as long as you’re consistently out-stepping your steps back, you’re ahead of the game. If you expect perfection (and many of us do), you’re setting yourself up for disappointment and guilt"... Sparkpeople
After reading the Sparkpeople article I was ready to Refocus, Rededicate and Recommit to reaching my goal.
In an effort to show my re-dedication, I let Leah drag me out to the tennis courts tonight in 106 degree heat. I believe she won one game - maybe? I won, well, who can count that high;-)) Then she and dad drug me to the driving range. I was so busy being Miss Athlete tonight that I did not snack, not even once. That's not to say I wasn't thinking about snacking all night long.
Everyone is on health kicks at work too. My co-worker boasts about her ability to run on her treadmill every morning at 5:30 AM with weights. Although, I read that running with weights is not good for your body. My other co-worker shares all her bike riding adventures and one hired a trainer. I feel in a way that I inspired them; either that or the thought of not having a job soon was the inspiration.
Wow do I want a snack right now. That's it - I'm going to get a glass of ice cold milk before bed.
Goodnight!
