I sprained my ankle on my way out of my house this morning. The pain was so great that I felt like I was going to pass out, I got really light headed and dizzy. My body just can’t take falls like that anymore without it really affecting me.
Today was an emotional day. I dealt with my former in less than desirables ways. I actually felt myself get discouraged and angry. However, as quickly as that feeling came – I took action to overcome it. I read over uplifting quotes, success stories, I read about the willpower of others and their desires to change. The positive outweighed the negative and I felt better.
I didn’t care if my ankle was sprained. Today, I had to go to they gym, even if it mean’t crawling to every arm machine. So after work, I went. Can’t say I had the best workout, the pain made it difficult to really push myself. But when I left I did so with a great sense of accomplishment. I did it. I didn’t let negative emotions, a hurt ankle or my discouragement keep me from doing what I know I need to do in order to succeed at this. I read somewhere that 80% of a weight loss journey is just showing up.
Today, I showed up for myself.
