Setting Goals

Why is it when you set a goal everything seems to conspire against you! I have established some pretty good eating habits.  However, I am still carrying 20 pounds more than I need! I study health and have learned from Dr. Delia Garcia, radiation oncologist specializing in breast cancer, says that being even 20 pounds overweight will increase your chances of breast cancer by 80%! WOW! So for everyone who tells me I look just fine, I know I am embarrassed to put on a swim suit and even more important, my health is at risk!

Yes, look around at all the people you can think of that are at risk! 80%! It still is hard for me to wrap my brain around that! I got back into exercise with yoga, pilates and having a buddy to work out with, no I am upping that effort with a BHAG to run in the St. Jude's Memphis Marathon at the end of this year! And ever since I made that goal, I have not got my butt out the door to walk (yes, I have to walk before I can run!) not even one time!  It has just been one thing after another!

I think the key to success and you all can probably name me many people, trainers, coaches, etc. that have said the same thing -- the key is:  DON'T GIVE UP!

So, the grand kids went home today, and my time is my own, and I am going for my walk!
On my way!
Please feel free to send me encouragement!
