Roll Call, STACers, how we doing today. I am up very early and here on site posting and reading and waking up with everybody's posts...I went to bed at 8:30. Yesterday's run in the park with my friend Adena, and my daughter and Adena's friend really inspired me and was soooo motivating...exhausting too, and today I am sore from head to toe, BUT IT GOT ME THINKING.
My biggest dream is to be here in a year, and that will be august. I want to be active on these boards on Aug.1, but more than even that I want to be living the Atkins lifestyle. Eating right, drinking my water, taking my suppliments and enjoying exercise and activities. Right now my diet and exercise is the CENTER of my life, but I suspect as I continue to get stronger, healthier and happier I will want to be challenged by more things and that will be the center of my life. But I will still want to be here daily, engaging in all that I am now.
Yesterday on the run, I remembered the first time I ran at that park, it was so much harder, and I was almost crippled by the time I finished the run...It was near thanksgiving...from that point on, I started jogging 1mi a day on the treadmill...it was a good thing and I slowly felt no soreness from the daily jog. Now I am going to up that distance to 1.5 mi. or maybe walk jog 2mi.
Now I am thinking about the Peachtree Road Race in July. Hmmmm
I started getting exercise magazines too, to read while Mother is in the hospital and now extended care...I am going to cut out pictures that motivate me, and make a collage.
Letting my new levels of fitness and activity and energy TAKE ME TO NEW GOALS AND HEIGHTS. These thoughts I so wanted to meet up with on Jan 1, 2007 and I was in such an unexpected place that day, numb to the holiday and dealing with a sick Mother...now as things settle down that set of dreams and desires start to rise again, and why NOT I am not just fat, and lethargic and on the couch any more. I am ready to take on my life again and do things I always wished I had...
How about you??? Right now it might be all about survival on Atkins!!!
But soon, as your disciplined lifestyle develops you will want other things, maybe it's joinging a gym, or preparing to enter a race or, get down to a certain size, no matter what, it's very important to have a place to work towards...activities to achieve...not just a number between your toes...taking that energy and using it to make a great life, do something you have always dreamed of...Living!!! Living with purpose!

). I'm a golfer, just started a few months back, and I want to drop my score. How this "woe/l" helps? The more in shape you are, the better the game you play (except for Daly-that guys just a freak), flexibility, strength, and focus all are supremely important. I went yesterday to a local course (as a Rochesterian this is a major coup on January 6th) and I walked 9 holes while carrying my bag and felt really awesome afterwards. Not my best round but it was windy, and a bit rainy to boot. But still big acheivement. I think I'm going to join a local club in the spring so I can play more often. I've been doing well (for 5 days only, yet) , got past the headaches and all. You all seem really motivated, which makes me want to strive for more as well. Keep up the great work and thanks for the support!
