I still to this day after P90X, Shaun T's INSANITY, 4 half marathons, and 1 full marathon tell people "I am not an athlete." Reading your post made me think that I will never EVER say that again! Thank you!!!<br /><br />And, those Jillian workouts are no JOKE! I'm going to try Trouble Zones tomorrow or Friday.

Maybe a 5K would be a nice goal for 2010? Or you've probably got something in mind. I believe that all kinds of things are possible when we open ourselves to the possibilites. I'm going to shoot for a full marathon. Who knows?

That is what I am trying to focus on, too....not on reaching a goal...but creating a lifelong journey of fitness and wellness. Three cheers for that! :)Greta from www.bigbottomblogger.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06387104569574497736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767507512883625882.post-14808498702196301452009-12-08T19:26:50.778-08:002009-12-08T19:26:50.778-08:00Wonderful post.

A very powerful and thought provoking...Hi Lori-Ann. A very powerful and thought provoking post. Reminds me about Mizfit saying things didn't work for her until she focused on what her body could do rather than what it looked like. And then everything fell into place. <br /><br />A lot of us try to lose weight so we look better, but maybe that is too shallow a goal to be sustainable. Obviously looking nice is important too. But if there's no greater purpose to your weight loss than how you look then it's easy to see how that can just be thrown aside when things get tough. <br /><br />What you have is a desire to achieve ever greater things with your body, and as you say, the eating is just in service of that. <br /><br />It's like your focus has shifted entirely. <br /><br />It's unfortunate I don't have any desire to be an athlete! I don't think my joints are up to any running - they ache enough as it is. One thing I am thinking about is weight lifting. I've always avoided it before because I build muscle very easily and don't want to end up looking like Arnold Schwarza-snigger. But I really am seeing the need to have a greater purpose here. <br /><br />As I say, plenty to think about!<br /><br />Best wishes,<br />Bearfriend xxFriend of the Bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01338137165061207438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767507512883625882.post-78060086627190877972009-12-08T14:51:24.688-08:002009-12-08T14:51:24.688-08:00And thanks for commenting on my blog about the swe...And thanks for commenting on my blog about the sweet potatoes.
