"All our dreams can come true--if we have the courage to pursue them. " - Walt Disney

I am back once again, working hard.  I can start training with Paul again in October.  I think I need him…LOL.  I have lost another 10 lbs, on my own but still fell short of my goal for August. But, hopefully at the rate I’m going I’ll reach it before the end of August.
 
Today I was told by Paul that I need to do the stair climber for 5 min. Believe me, I was thinking to myself are you sure?! I can barely do 4!  But I was able to make it. Who would have thought?  I know it doesn’t sound like much, however I couldn’t do the stairs at all before I started training.  So I am pretty proud of myself. I am dreading when Paul will be back to training me full force again. Lord help me….then I’ll be back to running around the building to…just watch I already for see this.

It took me a little longer to break down the wall but I am now moving forward again.  I realize that sometimes I just let things get in my way, and I can’t let that happen anymore.  Like dating for instance, it’s just a complication I don’t need right how. It is too distracting and makes me lose focus on my goals.  Besides if I want to be with a healthy person I need to make myself healthy first.  Right?!?!

The other thing that was making me loose focus is my daughter.  Now that she is not in school, she’s wanted me to do more things with her.  To keep up with her, I have to build up my energy and endurance so that means I have to continue losing the weight to get healthy.  I often have to remind her of this.  So spending time with her has sometimes has to wait.  I tell you this is a hard one for me.  Sometimes it feels like I’m neglecting her.  I know I am not, but it just feels that way.  So to compromise I will spend an hour just waking with her each day.  This way she can do some of the exercise with me and I can still get my two hours in everyday!
