Read this for solace in our struggles and successes, as they ebb and flow. It feels like win some lose some doesn’t it?

Dropped below 160 two days in a row. This morning back up to 161.5. Darn it!

And yet, four days ago, set a personal record for parallel bar plank at 40 seconds.

There was a time the plank couldn’t be held for one second.

There was a time when anything over 155.0 felt overweight.

We’re in this for our lifetime right? Setbacks are temporary.

How long should we be willing to wait for the breakthrough we so desperately want?

As long as it takes.

Weeks. Months. Even years.

Not since last summer have I weighed under 160, and this morning was the breakthrough.

Insight: Good things happen to those who wait and refuse to cave to mediocrity.

Ever hope no one you know will see you here?

Ever hope no one you know will see you here? On the way home from work Disney last night, needed a quick stop at Publix and then head off to Gold’s Gym.

Secretly hoping I wouldn’t run into anyone I know. Why? In a great hurry actually.

And what if I do bump into a neighbor or colleague. “Sorry, can’t talk, gotta get to the gym”.

Really?

But what if it was, “Sorry, can’t talk, gotta go to…

  • the doctor appointment
  • pick up our Son at school
  • get to a Church meeting

Why are those acceptable, but the gym seems indulgent and not an urgency?
