When I move into a neighborhood I usually go exploring to see where this road or that road leads to. Sometimes it's a really cool thing, kind of a serendipitous experience. Other times it's just a road and there is nothing special to find. Since I have lived out here in the sticks, I have not done much exploring on the side streets. And now that I am not working, I'm thinking that may have to wait a bit longer since I need to conserve gas.
However, it doesn't take any fossil fuel to start exploring the internal roads that I wrote about earlier. I'm doing okay so far on the diet road. I've lost 3 pounds so far and I'm writing down everything I eat. And I have to be honest with what I write so if I don't want to include it on the calorie list then I just don't eat. (Goodbye cranberry/orange scones from Starbucks and goodbye donuts with my latte in the morning) Tonight I started back down the excercise road and I will tell you that I'm sure there is an end to it somewhere and that end is me getting into awesome shape, but in the meantime it's a bumpy road. I have not worked out in awhile and this one kicked my butt. I did the step aerobics, boxing, then step aerobics followed by some stretching.
I was sweating! Wow, did it feel good. Now I just have to keep that momentum up. I can picture it, I want it, I just have to draw strength from within. Man, easier said than done sometimes. Motivation is a really tough thing to muster up when there are so many other situations fighting for your emotional attention. No one said the internal road to success was going to be easy.
Here we go!
