I was so excited about this weigh in. I even had a crazy last chance workout in the pool last night. I chased after every swimmer in front of me. Some even had flippers on. I was so ready to see a great number. Darn! Well its not about the number. So I will hold my head high and keep on keeping on.
I now might be even more excited for next Thursday.

That’s 10 lbs. since the New Year. What a great week! I’ve kept my calorie intake around 1500. On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays I’ve been swimming for 35 minutes, lifting weights and on the elliptical for 20 minutes. I took a week off from my 7 day Challenges and I really missed it. So I’m starting another one tomorrow.
Being this intentional is so much fun.

Day 123 – It’s what you do next that counts.
01/09/2010I was walking through the airport the other day when an ad caught my eye. The picture was of a beautiful golf course with lush green grasses and crashing waves on a dogleg left fairway. It’s an impossible shot. The golf ball had come to rest on a soft patch of grass surrounded by rocks with the 18th green only about 120 yards away. The golfer only the best the world has ever seen and the caption read, “It’s what you do next that counts.”
This goes along with many of my themes for the New Year. I’m excited about the many possibilities ahead. This excitement is not only for what can happen but for what new patterns I am establishing everyday in order to be ready for what ever may come my way. Yes the golfer had a difficult shot and everyone knew that he would handle the pressure with ease but his preparation before this shot brought him the confidence for this moment. He had proven himself time and time again so the public knew that the impossible could be made possible. The potential was there. The countless hours of practicing alone on the golf course chipping away at golf balls should be praised but what is seen in public is what gets the recognition. So finding the connection between this and my weight loss goals is simple for me. I am not looking to the scale for my victory. I am looking at the patterns that I set everyday that will lead me to the moment on the scale when I have reached my goal weight. It’s the process and to isolate one shot among many is not the true depiction of the journey. It’s the how you get there that counts. “People don’t believe what you say. They believe what you do.”
So here are a few things that I am proud of this week…
I went home. That’s right something as simple as going home. I went home and cooked my dinner instead of hitting a fast food joint. I used an elliptical for the first time. I kept my food intake around 1500 calories. I logged my calories and met my calorie burn everyday. Finally, I didn’t beat my self up. I was nice to Shelli.
