Momentum

27 days into the journey and I'm still pushing. It's been difficult and I've had some very trying days. Days when I wanted to give up and go back to the way things were. But that's what I've always done. Busting out of the gate, running full speed ahead only to lose momentum before I enter the first turn. Allowing those bad habits to creep back in and take me off course. I can not allow that to happen AGAIN! This time I plan to finish the race.

Bad habits are like old friends that pop up unexpectantly. You are excited to see them at first, you embrace them and invite them in to stay a while. BUT it doesn't take long to remember why they are OLD friends and not CURRENT companions. I'm learning to choose my friends wisely this time. I'm getting aquainted with exercise and realizing that we should have been friends a long time ago. I'm warming up to healthy eating habits...I'm surprised by how much we have in common. And I'm rekindling the flames of self love...knowing eventually we will be BFFs. I'm building life long relationships that will sustain me throughout all of life's journeys. Relationships that will encourage my spirit and PUSH me into keeping up the Momentum.

I woke up this morning with a renewed sense of being. I feel empowered and much stronger than I did just days before. I realize that the set backs are simply hurdles that can easily be overcome if I simply PUSH and keep Moving even when my legs hurt and my heart is pounding through my chest. I'm a SPRINTER... training for the big race. I have to stay focused and not allow the crawlers to distract me with their fancy track suits and zero talent. I'm laughing out loud because This is not their race, and God only knows how they made it on to the track. But that's okay I want them to stay. I'm looking forward to waving to them in the stands as I take my Victory Run.

Like a Bolt of Lightening glaring across the sky. I'm ready to Shine. Brilliantly Phabolous.
