Goal Weight: 195 lbs.
Today’s Weight: I don’t really care.
Please don’t think I’m sitting here eating Ho Ho’s. I haven’t given up on my goal or my desire to be fit again. I’m just worn out — exhausted actually. As many of you know, I’ve spent the last three days in Atlanta, watching my sister have to bury her husband. I’ve written about Adam before — he had ALS. ALS is at best, cruel.
I would like to crawl into a hole and sleep for a month.
I didn’t run all weekend. I tried to eat fairly well. I did ride the bike on Saturday for 30 minutes and 15 minutes this morning. I didn’t work out at Jackson State because Fit4Change is over. I’ll try to run a little bit tonight — maybe two miles or even three. My schedule is packed and I need to get ready for my next trip: To Arkansas.
My point is this: If I had not gotten back in shape, I would not be able to function right now. If I did not change my diet, I would be writing bad checks my body couldn’t cash.
I move because I can. I move because I have to. I move in honor of Adam.
The best way to honor a life is to live the one we have been given to the best of our ability. Thanks for the reminders you give us.
