| Posted: 21 May 2008 09:52 AM CDT Annually Amway holds a "Weight Wars" challenge for employees, where teams (or, in the past, individuals) lose weight for six weeks and win prizes. I joined a team this year because I am at the heaviest weight I've been ... ever. Well, I was last week. Now I'm not. Now I'm four pounds lighter than I was at my heaviest ever. I went running yesterday for the first time in months. Winters in Michigan get in the way, but we have a beautiful indoor fitness center with lots of cardio machines, so that's not a good excuse. I did have ACL surgery last spring, but I've recovered long ago and really had not excuse. We have been busier here at work than ever and I have accepted new responsibilities and I have had to travel alot and ... many other excuses. My dad had a heart attack in his mid-40s. I'm 43. My dad had a belly. Mine's coming along quite nicely. There are many other similarities (except the fact that he had a heart valve defect ... but I doubt that had much to do with his attack) and I need to make the changes in my life that will keep me here for my family and friends and community and, for as long as they'll have me, my work here! So, no more excuses. I will eat healthier. I will excercise more. I will adopt a healthier lifestyle. Do you have excuses? And I don't just mean about your health or weight ... but about whatever it is that you wish you had or wish you were or wish you could do or whatever. Today is the day to stop finding barriers and instead find openings. Start turning closed doors into wide open passageways. I really am sore today after running three miles and doing weights. But I will go back for more. I have a weigh-in on Thursday. :-) |
