A hole so deep it scares hope away

Quote about our body
From i love to run Facebook page.

 

Yesterday morning and this morning i’ve weighed in at the heaviest in several years.

i don’t like it.

And it reminds me how challenging wellness is.

Note: It’s always challenging, even when you are maintaining. But failing to maintain reminds you that your daily, determined efforts mean something.

Because without the daily focus (and struggle), you can quickly dig yourself into a hole deep enough to scare you out of having hope.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

It’s sickening. But who are you to say something without offending the other?

The decades of neglect are foolishly disguised with cosmetics, treatments, clothes, and accessories.

What is obvious to a first time observer, is invisible in the offender’s mirror.

The person in the mirror may be sickened by some aspect of another person’s personality. We are all only human after all.

So in the end, we should do the best we can, but if we cheat, take short cuts, lie, or don’t care, don’t blame anyone for how obvious it is.

Never saw it coming

(photo: Do not plant your feet and stay put. Jump, run, walk, hustle, dance, skip… anything. Just don’t stay put.)

Four weekends in a row not exercising.

A surprising discovery.

Never saw it coming.

Physical rest to be sure, right?

But psychological fresh air?

Never saw it coming.

What a bonus.

Please don’t quit.

It’s been 15 years in the making.

Do not worry going slow, only worry quitting or not going at all.
