"Fear is nothing more than an obstacle that stands in the way of progress. In overcoming our fears we can move forward, stronger and wiser within ourselves."

I had a rough start this morning but I pushed through it. This week I've reflected on my fitness goals for the next year and realized that it's better to live today as if I've already achieved my goals for the year. Sometimes I get so consumed with trying to achieve that I forget that achievement doesn't mean I'll stop…

Yay! Way to go... I'm on day 3 and I'm also having to modify some of exercises because I hurt my back in motorcycle wreck... Keep pressing play; I will too :D

"You can't get much done in life if you only work on the days you feel good." -Jerry West

Yes!!! I'm loving all this motivation <3 Day 2 of Insanity went well (with a couple of modifications) :-) ; I also committed to going to gym 3x per week with a co-worker. I'm glad that my limitations are driving me to work harder instead of give up. Thanks for the awesome support o:) Set goals Exercise Love yourself Focus…

Awesome!!! Thanks! (me too) :smiley: "A goal without a plan is just a wish." I hope you planned your work and worked your plan today ;)

Thanks! Good one!! Well, today I made some healthier food choices-- plus I worked out at gym with a co-worker right after work. The insanity program I ordered should be in by tomorrow, so my "January 1" future self will be thanking me instead of making desperate resolutions. :smile: "A champion is someone who gets up, even…

Thank you :) Did my first kickboxing class since accident- not full force yet but on my way :wink: "There is no one giant step that does it; it is a lot of little steps." -Peter A Cohen Hope your day went well!!!

True, true :) "Do something today that your future self will thank you for"

Took a camping trip over the weekend- refreshing getaway :smiley: "Things work out best for those who make the best of the way things work out." -John Woodson Hope you had an amazing weekend!!!!

Thanks! Me too :) I may be back on track sooner than I expected. The T'ai Chi is helping tremendously ;) THINK Positively EXERCISE Daily EAT Healthy WORK Hard STAY Strong WORRY Less DANCE More LOVE Often BE Happy

Still very sore but doing much better. I went ahead and attended Kung Fu class today for moral support, but I mainly just did some very simple stretching and tai chi. The movement helped me feel better. I think my previous tai chi and martials arts training may have influenced how well my body took the impact of the blow…

I love that one :smile: Today I wrecked on my motorcycle and I'm very lucky to be alive posting this. It was probably the most memorable birthday I've had thus far... There are so many good-hearted people and things to be grateful for in this world. I'm so glad I get the opportunity to experience this for another day <3…

SUCCESS: See your goal Understand your obstacles Create a positive mental picture Clear your mind of self doubt Embrace the challenge Stay on track Show the world you can do it

Way to go!!! Sounds like a great plan :wink: "Do not wait for the perfect moment. Take this moment and make it perfect."

Thank you!!! I tried to keep moving today... it wasn't my best day but I guess it wasn't my worst either-- I'm still here :) "The only bad workout is the one that didn't happen."

Awesome progress!!! Way to go on your success :D

Today I completed day 10 of logging and weighed in at 1 pound less than when I began. My hope is to continue doing what I am doing for a full year. My goal is to within the year both reach my goal weight and be able to do a pull up. "Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment." -Jim Rohn

To establish the routine, I recommend starting with very short runs (5-10 minutes) but being sure to do them every day. I've had much more success when I commit to a little bit to begin with but make sure to do it consistently. When I've committed to too much before I've established the habit, I end up either giving up…

Thanks! It encourages me to keep going ;) Happy Monday! The perfect day to set the tone for the whole week. I hope yours went well. *Whew* I'm exhausted (in a good way) "Don't be upset by the results you didn't get with the work you didn't do."

Great recipe!!!

"Do not spoil what you have now by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for." -Epicurus I hope you found time this weekend to enjoy the progress you've made :smile:

WOW :D Way to go! Thanks for sharing your inspiring story!!!

Chocolove dark chocolate bars are my favorite; especially the one with almonds and sea salt-- but they make a variety of flavors that are amazing

Good idea -Thanks for the encouragement :) Today was a better day- I started off a little discouraged when I got to boot camp... it had been several weeks since I'd attended (bad weather, other commitments, etc) and I felt as if it were my first time again. As the workout progressed I realized that I hadn't, in fact, lost…
