I weighed myself this morning and I’m at 226.4 roughly 1.4 lbs away from my birthday goal weight of 225. This journey has forced me to reflect on many of the self-imposed personal goals and sacrifices I've made over the years. I remember when I was young and dumb and set my goal of benching 500 lbs. Lol, never achieved that goal, but I did have a personal best of benching 465lbs. And then I recall me working towards holding my breath for 3 minutes, yeah that was a dumb one, but at one point I was able to hold my breath for 1 minute and 58 seconds. I've set so many personal goals in my life, that I sometimes lose track of the lessons I've learned. Even when I did not hit the goal, I grew from the experience. God willing, I will lose the 1.4 lbs I need to hit 225 in the next 24-36 hours, but if I don't, here’s what I know. I’ve worked dammn hard getting to where I’m at. I feel great, and I’ve been told, I’m looking good. So those are all wins.
Here’s what I’ve learned from this weight loss journey:
Success is measured in different ways.
Hitting a set goal
Movement in the right direction
Stopping something negative
Those that don't pay bills here, don't count in the financial equation.
Everyone will have an opinion. The only opinions that matter are the ones that contribute to your daily emotional, mental, spiritual, and physical improvement. All the other opinions are just white noise
When I was younger and dumber, winning was all that mattered. Winning was defined by someone else.
As I've matured, I define what winning means to me
I've learned to give myself the same grace I give others. As I forgive others for making mistakes, I have learned to forgive myself for my mistakes
Hard work, patience, and commitment are required in anything we do and expect to do well.
I’m still a beast when I set my mind to something. As I sit in my sauna mentally and physically recovering… I GOT THIS 1.4 lbs let's GET IT!
Have a Great Day and Stay Safe!
