MARCHers going to goal!

When we are motivated by goals that have deep meaning, by dreams that need completion, by pure love that needs expressing, then we truly live life....Greg Anderson I think we are all truly living life at this point in our journey. Most of us are at 75-100 pounds less than we were in February 2006 and some of us are more than 100 pounds lighter at this point. So we are truly living life at a different pace than we were 2 years ago today. BUT....we need to complete the dream - we MARCHers going to goal. We must be motivated to reach our final goal and stay there! AND....we will complete this dream -together and with each other. I got up this morning saying I have to walk more today - after all it was my crazy idea for the MARCHers to walk across America and I didn't contribute much to that last week. I leave home at 5 in the morning and get home sometime between 5:30 - 6:30 at night. If I don't get my walking in at lunch then I can find an excuse at 6:30 at night not too - considering I fall asleep about 8:30!!!! So I must be motivated by my goal to "get to goal" and I hope you will be too. I know this is a loving group of folks - your care and concern for each other is evident every day in our posts. SO.....today lets dream about completing our goal and more importantly than dreaming.....LET'S DO IT!!!! Follow the 4 rules today....we need and want to move towards our goal. What dream will you pursue today? What will motivate you to move towards your goal? I hope you dream, get motivated and ACT today! Hugs to all...Barbara

Hmmm...my dream for today is that I was back in bed! I did not want to get up this morning. Believe it or not, I'm actually looking forward to my surgery because it will force me to slow down and rest for a month. I'm not looking forward to the pain, but I am looking forward to some down time...and of course the results! I did well with my vitamins yesterday, but not so well with my water so that's my focus today. I have 18 ounces in so far and hope to hit 64 ounces by 5:00 p.m. I'm also a little concerned about my exercise for this week. I can't attend either of my spinning classes and I doubt I'll make it to the gym. Too many nights of working will prevent me from my formal exercise. I will be walking tons, though. So I'm just going to have to accept that this week is a loss in the exercise department and try again next week! Have a great day, my friend! Hugs, Stephanie
