The frustrations with progress, pain, and lack of fun
The devil is challenging us all the time. And sometimes, more than others.
These are the most important tests we can take – the ones where the frustrations with progress, pain, and lack of fun are overwhelming evidence stacked in the devil’s favor.
Just yesterday, in the final minutes of a leisurely four-mile run, a cramp-like pain in the calf.
Crazier still, it was in the cool-down phase – an almost walking pace – just before the 800 meter cool down walk home.
Iced, stretched, ibuprofen – still hurts this morning.
No run today.
Hey devil, “Go to hell”!

Is there anything more wonderful than feeling healthy, happy, and alive?
Is there anything more wonderful than feeling healthy, happy, and alive?
Seriously.
Tomorrow when you wake up tell yourself at least ten times:
I feel happy. I feel healthy. I feel alive.
Do it. Trust in the process.
And do it out loud, but not loudly – just a low whisper is fine.
And share what it was like in the comments (if ya feel like it).

Never let good excuses become habits
There are two stories in our life – the one we think we’re telling and the one we actually tell.
As for the story of our health and wellness…
We become one of two things:
- An example
- A warning
We are in charge of this.
Never let good excuses become habits.

What if it feels like we will never make progress again?
When it seems there hasn’t been any progress for a long time and maybe there never will be any progress again – what do we do next?
Well, when we work diligently and with great patience and effort we eventually do make progress.
How can we not?
It (almost always) never happens in the time frame we wish for.
Haven’t seen this morning’s weight on the scale in over two years.
Never thought it would take this long to get back.
The long way is the short cut.
