Re: Wildcats Serious Forum #63, You gotta make it count!
Stronger Every Day
Daily workouts too tough? Feel like your goal is out of reach? You might not know your own strength. Check out what one member has to say about an outstanding accomplishment and what it means to her:
"I ran my first marathon yesterday!! Slowly, not quite elegantly, but I did it. Four months of preparation, much time and energy invested, many, many miles of running. I did all of that during one of the busiest and most diffcult times in my life.
Today, my legs hurt. I still have problems at work, still have extra weight. But I have accomplished my goal, I am a marathoner. When life throws curveballs at me, when people around me have negative impacts on me (abuse me, attack me, disrespect me), instead of lowering my head, frustrated, and go home to build myself together, I'll tell myself, 'Get lost. I am a marathoner. I have already accomplished much more than you, and I am strong enough, physically and mentally, to have done the marathon, and certainly to do my job well, live my life the way I want. What you are doing is imposing me your low self-esteem, your insecurities, your frustrations. I do not have to take this. I won't let it affect me.'
I know it won't be that easy to get over my personal and professional issues. But, like the marathon, i'll take it one step at a time. Now, let's get that weight down! "

See? You can accomplish anything you set your mind to. If you're intimidated today, you're not going to lose weight tomorrow, so get moving! You won't regret it when you see the pounds come off.
