Call for Miles | Week 8

It’s the end of WEEK 8!

I can’t believe that we have been at this for almost a year.

How was your week?

I had a pretty good week and I am feeling good about that.

Call for Miles | Week 7

I love this quote, and I love the way that it is done here. Personally, I think that this quote applies to many different parts of my life. Especially exercise.

How was your week? How many miles did you do?

I find that I am struggling this time around. Getting out has been a struggle but I am very hopeful for the next few weeks. I have plans.

Be sure to leave a comment with your miles and then come back and check my math.

Call for Miles | Week 6

A day late again! Sorry, folks.

We had influenza at our house last week and it has kicked my butt. Trying to get the house & groceries & kids caught up after a solid week of sickness has left me unorganized and exhausted.

How was your week?

My sister sent me this picture. I love it. Too often, I look at other people doing amazing things and I don’t think about the path that got them there. I don’t think about the struggles that they fought through. My mind makes me think that they decided they wanted to this and bam! they were there.

Frequently, for me, I take a couple steps back for each one I take forward – especially when it comes to fitness. The key is not giving up and remembering that success really takes a squiggly path.

Leave me a comment with your numbers for last week. Remind your friends that maybe haven’t commented in awhile.

We are almost halfway through Round 4. Are you almost halfway to your goal? I am realizing that I am not, so I had better kick it up a notch…I am making {slow} progress though.

Call for Miles | Week 4

A day late (probably two since it will be the middle of the night before this goes up for most of you). Sorry, ladies!

Week 4 ended on Monday. How was your week?

After my week of ZERO, I improved. Happy to report that! Still room for improvement, but making a step in the right direction.

Leave a comment with your miles last week. Good luck this week!

Excuses

Last week, I was full of excuses for why I couldn’t exercise.

Bryan was out of town. I had a meeting. I was cranky. I had to be at the school to do volunteer time. I had a big event as PALS (parent group) president. I have three kids and one wasn’t feeling well. I was tired – after all, I don’t sleep well when Bryan is gone.

Because of this, I got 0 miles. ZERO. This is my challenge! How can I do that to myself?

Recently, my sister emailed me some of the pictures that I have used on the calls for miles. As I was going through my email last night, I came across this one:

I have seen it before. I have smiled at this boy’s happiness, his smile and his courage.

But, last night. Last night, it sunk in. My excuses are LAME!

After all, if I had exercised perhaps I would have slept better. If I had exercised, I probably would have had more energy to get the things done that needed to get done. If I had exercised I may have been more patient with my children because I would have had an outlet.

Exercise has a way of changing my whole perspective.

Do you know what I mean?

So this week, I challenge you to drop your excuses. Forget them. Do something GOOD for yourself.

And, I read this gem this afternoon and thought that maybe it would inspire you too.

Will you do it? Will you drop your excuse? Will you do something good for you?
