I am so excited! I am participating in my very first 4 miler, Finish on the 50, OSU 4 Miler! Although I am not ready to run a race, I am participating and walking and jogging to the finish line. Before I began my healthy living journey I had only considered doing 5ks and such, I now have the courage to actually do it! It occurs to me that many of you may feel the same way about something big...I dont think I can succeed and I am too afraid to fail, so I wont (fill in the blank) That was me for so long when it came to losing weight. I cant lose my 100 lbs all at once, so whats another week. Then weeks turn into months and years. Heres the thing...If you arent failing, then you arent trying, and we will never ever be successful. So 5 months later, 45 lbs lighter, I am making small successes each day. Some days arent as pretty as others, but I count those failures as steps to success. What has truly helped me in my journey is the accountability that I have found with my Fitness and Healthy Living Challenge Groups. Having like minded men and women who face the same challenges and can encourage eachother had been the missing piece. Its the piece that makes this a lifestyle change rather than a diet. Anyone else feel this way? Ready to start succeeding at your goals one step at a time? My next Challenge group begins next week and final commitments are due by Monday. Let me know if you would like more information, or know that you are ready to commit. Wish me luck this morning!
