Just Keep Going
During the week I posted on my personal
page about how was going out to dinner wearing size 14 jeans. I was
feeling pretty chuffed with myself – icing on the cake after
achieving several personal goals recently. But my friends added
hundreds & thousands, sparkles & sprinkles to the icing with
their comments of support, encouragement & love.
In fact many reminded me of a photo from a few months ago, taken during our first Mountain Bike Ride together & of the difference that could be seen between then & now.
This got me thinking. Sometimes we feel like we aren't getting anywhere. The scales are moving painfully slowly, we had a beer last week & a chocolate the week before & therefor feel that we've put on 10kg. Oh & heavens forbid, if we missed a workout on top of it all! I've done all of these & regretted them immensely, sometimes letting it derail me for a week or two at a time.
But it's the little changes – smaller jeans, a wedding ring that is no longer tight, compliments from friends & family, a glance at an old photo, A faster run or ride, a hug from a little one saying “gee Mummy you are getting skinny”, a nudge nudge wink wink from hubby …. all these things add up to make us feel so much more comfortable in ourselves & willing to just keep going.
So in true Dory style, my mantra for the next few weeks is going to be “Just keep going, just keep going”.
Here's to a productive, clean & active week!!

This photo was taken during our first Mountain Bike Road together in March (?)

This one was taken last month, post Enduro Race at the Townsville Adventurethon.
Can you see the change? It wasn't until friends pointed it out that I saw it (I have super awesome friends).
