Wow it is Saturday afternoon and I have played ultimate football on the beach. May sound like fun but I can assure you we worked. We then went on a 14 mile bike ride. My legs were fried and I almost cried. I could not do the hills on the bike but I never gave up. I am just physically worn out. I am looking forward to yoga at 12PM and then rest. I am going to pamper myself and get a manicure.....Yes I said a manicure.
I have noticed that my energy level is much better at the beginning of the week but yesterday and today was rough. I have continued to learn that this journey will have up and downs. there will be times that I do not want to work out but if I want to make that change I am going to have to learn to endure those tough times. I think what pushed me through today was that fact that the trainer said that he would go get the van and come back and get me. In some way that just was like a challange that motivated me to complete the ride.
I had a very nice visit from a colleague and old friend Rob Katz. I continue to be amazed and pleased at the friendship, support and love I have recieved.
Thanks. See y'all on Monday

Ira,
ReplyDeletecliches for today but true:
"Pain is weaknest leaving the body"
Way to refuse to give up!!! Never, never, never give up. I forgot who said that.
And this jewel from Helen Gurley Brown, "The only thing that separates successful people from the ones who aren't is the willingness to work very, very hard." But then again, this describes you.
Ira,
