Try, Try Again...

 

So... I log in today, after months again, and decide to put in this new blog. I noticed the last one I did, and it was about how I slid. Here I am again, but I'm not writing about how I slid. More how I crashed. It truly is amazing how when things are going well, you seem to forget the work it took to get there. It takes a real solid committment and conscious effort to remember, and to make sure you keep up with goals, checklists, and the like because it's so easy to let go. I went from feeling in shape for the first time in probably a decade or more to feeling as I do today. (I'd say how I feel, but I don't want to use words that would be offensive to some people, including myself). I know that when you fall off a bike as a child, you get right back on and try again. This is where I'm at now. And it seems especially hard, because I have went through the entire Tools program, and know there are specific things I should concentrate on more than others, such as exercise and routines. But at the same time, I want to start the program over and complete it a second time, so I need to decide if I will implement those parts of Tools I need desperately first and then start from Day 1, or just start at Day 1 and let the program take me there in the process. Any thoughts are more than welcome as I again try to take control of my life!

You Got Back Up!

The point is you got back up and that's great! Hey, if you have to do a program several times there's nothing wrong with that. You keep doing it until you get it right. It takes courage and strength to even get back up. That's what makes a champion and that's what you are!

you;re back in the game!

Hey you're back on track! Super! I think that is the great thing about tools it helps you to stay on track, even if you fall off a bit, you just get back into tools and you are back in the game. I would say if you have a strong goal in mind to start focusing on it if you feel you can commit, along with following tools day by day. Good luck to you and welcome back!

Getting back up is the important part

We are all going to have ups and downs in life, it's the not giving up that counts. I like the suggestion of going for your main goals while doing tools day by day as well. You are the best judge of what will work best for you. :-)
