Life Lesson # 2........
Using the Tools you have, NOT blaming them for your failure!
For many years I have tried every "diet" every gym, read every book and suprise surprise they work for awhile and then all of sudden it just stops working!!!!
If you are looking to loose weight and have never tried, I am your girl, I can tell you exactly the tools to use.
Kris and I were stuck in traffic a couple of days ago and I said to him I just wish I could find someone who really understands me, maybe something that will actually work!!!
I could see it in his face he was just wanting to say something but I knew he was holding it back! I gave him permission to be honest........WHY I'm not sure.
He said to me "Suck it up Princess." (How rude I know) He reminded me that it's not the tools that have failed it's my choices to not continue to use those tools.
See it's easier to say oh Curves didn't work because I work later than the hours, Fitness world doesn't work because they are all to skinny and I feel uncomfortable, Jenny Craig doesn't work because I got sick of the food.
I have never once said "It didn't work because I just gave up!!!"
Well you can imagine how ticked I was...... so I sulked for a few minutes felt sorry for myself for another minute or so, than finally thought about what he was saying.
We use tools to live our lives everyday. We use a bed to sleep in, and shower, sink, toilet etc to well you can fill in the blanks. We use the kitchen to fix our food and so on and so forth. These are just tools. They will not fail unless we miss use them or just simply stop using them.
So I am going to tell you the tools I am going to use during this journey.
*I have a free membership and Curves (fabulous place only 30 min workout)
*I pay for a membership at Fitness World (love it there for the hours and to go with Deb)
*And I am a Life time member at Jenny Craig (is so convienent with my crazy lifestyle and great counceling)
*I am also going to add this blog as a tool.
I was out for lunch today with my Aunt Janice and talking to her about my journey and she came up with the term BlOGPressure. I love that because it is not only keeping me accountable but is using the tools. Lesson 1 and 2 in one!
So here is your challenge tonight for your ULITMATE LIFE CHALLENGE......
What are 3 tools to help you become an overcomer?
