After a wonderful loaded salad dinner and a long walk to Dollar General and back, I am sitting at home watching The Biggest Loser finale. This is a big deal, because The Biggest Loser has been a huge encouragement to me, and it's so great to see how some of these people have succeeded. It's truly inspiring; I find myself thinking, "If only I could own this and go back and watch it every month or so." I'm going to have to keep this very close to heart, as I won't have the weekly refresher from this point forward.
But that's OK. I have to be honest, it took me about a week to get over last week's setback. It hurt me a great deal, and I was in "hang on for dear life" mode all week long. Your support – especially a text message from Juice – and a charged discussion with my wife kept me going. Not necessarily going strong, but still going – and I think that's important. The immediate response to disappointment is so key. It can make or break you.
So here we are, May 1, 2012. I'm alive and kicking, and I'm coming off one of my best days so far on this journey. The energy to work out is there. The willpower to eat right is there. The ideas for blog posts are there. It's a new day.
Let's go.
