The Moment I Tell People…
…I’m going to do something, is the moment when I stop wanting to do it.
Let me explain (even though I’m pretty sure I already have). Remember the 33 Day Challenge? And P90X? And my plan to run a marathon last year?
Remember any of that actually happening? Yea, me neither.
When it comes to fitness and weight loss, I have a serious commitment issue. The thought of running a race or doing a program or challenge has a really nice thought to it, but when it comes down to the nitty gritty – I just don’t.
And saying that out loud – on the internet – is really scary. I hate to admit that I don’t have the dedication or will to do something. It makes me feel weak and incapable when I know for a fact that isn’t true. I don’t like feeling that way. Solution? Just fucking do it. That is now the theme of the year.
There are a few different things I’m wanting to accomplish this year. Currently I’m doing a 90 day fitness program. I’m on the second week right now, but I will be sure to share more after I’ve finished. I’ve been working (very slowly) on my 5 goals for the year, but there is one more I’d like to add. But I can’t tell you just yet. IF you follow me on Twitter, you may have figured it out. I’ll just have to stick with my theme for the year and get it done!
This was the picture my Mom sent me last week. How very true. No place to go but forward!!
Do you ever get stage fright after you make a big public commitment?
I totally understand what you are saying! Not only commitment issues, but I honestly feel I am just as scared to succeed as I am to fail. We are DOING IT this time! No fear. Moving forward. We will be those strong, fit thin girls we have longed to be. If we mess up, we will get back up. If we eat crap, we will start over the next day! We WILL run 5ks, 1/2s and eventually marathons. We will climb rocks and do P90x for fun! I am so proud of you, Sam. THanks for keeping it inspirational and keeping me accountable!
It’s like the minute you ACTUALLY commit, that’s when you don’t want to HAVE to do something. I am so excited, nervous, and worried that I’ll fail again. But failing really doesn’t matter. It only matters if you let that be the end. And this isn’t the end for us! Thanks for checking in on me and giving kind words!!
