Untreated allergies makes it challenging to thrive

Equate allergy relief medicine package

 

BFO (blinding flash of the obvious)… Staying motivated looks easy for motivated people. It’s not. Not until an object gets in, and stays in, motion. We build our reputation based on one of two things:

  1. Excuses
  2. Tenacity

i get two monthly allergy injections, one in each arm. But (a long list of excuses reasons) i stopped getting allergy injections nearly a year ago.

Discovered yesterday that my last injections were March 2015. Today is Feb 4, 2016.

Seeing Doctor Bagg today to get back up the horse.

i was so consistent for perhaps 10 years.

i thought i had licked my allergies.

Big mistake.

My allergies to plants, pollens, certain foods, as well as a few miscellaneous items like dust mites, are debilitating.

i forget this fact.

Now it’s back to weekly injections. Yes, weekly. And i need three shots instead of two – allergic to more than before.

It takes close to a year to build up to monthly maintenance shots.

Live and learn.

It’s just a cold

Snapped this while watching a TV commercial last night. Oprah is making promises again about losing weight. i could help her.

 

It’s just a cold, not the flu.

Heading out for a run shortly.

Powered through a gym workout yesterday.

Didn’t feel like it.

Also didn’t feel like missing a day either.

May the Force be strong with you

May the force (indomitable will) be with us for our entire life.

From LinkedIn last week.

 

Habits determine our destiny.

It’s that (profoundly) simple.

Bonus: Our determination creates our habits.

i think it’s obvious, but if it’s not, the “me” that beats (in the second photo) you is the devil-side of your conscience.

Look Mom, no orthotics

Graffiti at Epcot
When does defacing someone else’s property become acceptable? Is there some excuse that makes this ok? Photo: Epcot, Japan, men’s restroom.

 

Yesterday was the fourth run without orthotics. The first week was only three miles each run. But yesterday it was seven miles. Nice and easy. Is it possible to let go of a 12+ year crutch?

Chronic foot challenges are an invisible disability.

So is a couple’s infertility.

Life goes on.

Depending on what’s important and how bad you want something, you can find a way to keep moving forward.

Don’t let good excuses become a habit.
