I've noticed lately that loosing those few pounds isn't so easy anymore. I"ve tired lots of different things but haven't found that secret diet! So, after a long internal struggle of not being happy with what my mind sees and what I actually see in the mirror, I've decided to take things into my own hands. Drumroll......................................................I'm doing a Triathlon next summer! I'm doing it for several reasons. One for the reason I just stated, but mostly for my kids. It's them I think of when my alarm wakes me from sleep wonder at 4:45 am. It's them I think of when the thought of crawling out of my nice warm bed snuggled next to my husband who is sleeping like a baby gives me second thoughts. It's them I think of when it's still dark outside AFTER the workout. It's all for them. Why? I want to teach them that anything is possible if you put your mind to it. That setting a goal isn't instant gratification. You have to work really hard and for a long time to achieve some things in life. I want them to appreciate their bodies and take care of them by following my example.
I've already started my journey.
