I had a sweet ass workout today after a week in sick bay. Oh endorphins! How I missed you!
Since I refuse to be a slave to my scale (for now*) I need to rename Project 9X9 (remember ... losing 9 pounds in 9 weeks). After my last post "Keepin' it Real" I discovered the stress associated with the scale wasn't helping me. There was something else I had to focus on ... like how I FEEL ... not necessarily how I LOOK. Well I got some great feedback from this post ... people who can relate to where I'm at. One person nailed it. A new friend Lisa Fayant LeJeune sent me a note that said what I was feeling so eloquently. Here is some of what she said:
"I think that sometimes we have a goal or idea set so firmly in our heads that we miss all the other great things that we've learn or experienced as a result of even attempting to reach a goal; those personal insights, the little learnings and lessons that we sometimes miss in the pursuit of the almighty (BIG) goal .... had you decided that your goal would be to inspire and reach out to people, then I would say that you have certainly achieved success."
I couldn't have said it better myself. And based on the feedback and comments I've received ... I think I've achieved my NEW goal of reaching out and inspiring people. So maybe we call it Project Inspiration? What do you think?
* I plan on training for a competition in the new year so I'll have to get over the scale issue. Oops! Now that it's in my blog, I guess I'm really going to have to do it!
Workout: chest and biceps circuit and some high intensity cardio on Stan the Stairmaster!!!
