I don't know about you but the holidays have always been stressful for me. My stress usually leads to breaking promises to myself about keeping a schedule for workouts. Then because of stress, I usually slack with my nutrition. Then I get all upset and realize I need to take control of my situation. I then go back to Weight Watchers and try to undo everything I just did because of my stress.
This time is different. I'm going to finish out the remainder of the month strong and determined by placing several goals in motion. These goals will help me focus on my day-to-day tasks.
I am starting Week 6 of P90X and have mapped out the next four weeks of my workouts (thanks to WOWY and the auto scheduler). I can definitely attribute this amazing program for helping me gain control of my mental fortitude. These workouts are not easy! Tony Horton makes it fun and enjoyable as I push myself past anything I could have imagined. As I'm sharing my thoughts with you right now, every muscle in my body is reminding me of how hard I've worked.
I am committed to completing P90X on January 29, 2011. I have recently rejoined Weight Watchers and working on getting back to my lifetime weight goal. I have 10 more lbs. I know that with daily discipline, I have conditioned myself to fulfill my dreams of reaching my goals. You know that old saying, "If you don't know where you are going, you might wind up someplace else." Yogi Berra This time I know exactly where I want to go and how I'm gonna get there!
Since I've gotten control of what I want and what steps are leading me to achieve my goals, I feel completely confident that this has a significant impact on how I can be fully present and plugged into my family. My husband and my children are my most important priority (along with my extended family).
Parenting today is far more challenging than when my parents got me through my adolescence 30 years ago. If it weren't for my tireless optimism, I would have definitely given up on my family goals. I am so thankful for my daughter's therapist. She has totally changed our lives around in a short period of time. Now that's where the optimism comes in. If I had given up on the fact that she could help us, there wouldn't have been any additional work to do and we would have continued to struggle without any results. I think they call that Insanity! Its now paying off and it makes the outcome that much more sweeter and enjoyable.
I have tweeted this quote many times, "You may not always end up where you thought you were going but you will always end up where you were meant to be." I can honestly say I feel like I'm meant to be exactly where i am right now and look forward to enjoying a future built around life on my terms!
