Saturday morning, and this is day 7. I am relieved to have most of the hard part over. I am off to ride a big ride this morning. After I get off here, I will go put on my "Eddie Bauer" shorts and see how they fit today. I know this time next week I can easily wear them.
Those shorts are my "mile marker" the thing I am working very hard for.
It's a simple illusion that works great for this visual person. I hang clothing on my wall and work toward them. The first year I kept a pair of pants up for 4 months and eventually I wore them....now I have a pair of jeans on the wall I have never been comfortable in, but I want to be!
Working towards something always helps me. 2 weeks of induction, a pair of favorite shorts, a triathlon, a mileage goal for the month. Something out there to move myself towards some times makes each day easier for me.
I love mileage goals and numbers I meet. Speed never intices me, its always gonna be about how much I can acquire over the MONTH!
Making this fun is a key thing for me to endure and do well. Achieving hair-brain goals is great fun for me! Fun, fun, fun. Fun will be getting in those shorts and knowing I've got what it takes to get in THEM! Pride and confidence come from moving myself into that place. My body will lead me there, at it's own pace, but since I want a lifestyle, when I get there is not as important AS GETTING THERE! The fun is wearing what I love! Instead of always wishing!
