It truly is the slow turtle who wins the fat loss race.

These were my thoughts last night as I worked out. I just wanted to encourage people that even the fat loss phase serves a big purpose. It would not help you if you achieved it instantly.

I think of all the women who have started all over again after having had the various surgical procedures and HCG diet; for most of them that set them behind instead of ahead, although they will have that lesson forever which in itself can be an example for others (for the good of others).

It's the slow turtle that wins this race, the one who embraces all the lessons along the way, and the one who learns to love herself even when not perfect.

Right now I'm running to stay in place (maintaining).

Every lesson I've learned through hardship and adversity is coming into play.

Every job I've ever had since high school over 30 years ago gave me the skills for right now, to live my destiny.

It's the same for you too.

Whatever hardship or adversity or crappy thing you are facing will teach you skills for life.

It isn't the first time you faced adversity and crappy things, and it will not be the last either.

Nothing you go through is a wasted effort. It all has value for propelling you forward.

I would be mostly useless for what I do now if I didn't face obesity and health issues, menopause and hormone issues, issues raising kids, all the various troubleshooting jobs for 25 years at Hewlett Packard, all of the years of dealing with people in various situations, even the Police Academy and every time I do a patrol shift or go to a training scenario.

It all adds up.

It all has use.

So have hope and ‪Never Give Up, Never Settle, Never Quit

That is how we do it!!

BOOM!

Live your dream
