One thing you may not know about me:
I push myself and everything in my life. I always push myself to do more, better, and faster.
I’m not going to talk about how awesome I’m doing in my business, mostly because this isn’t my business blog, but also because most of you know it because I do awesome work for you.
But I’m taking about personally. I slack sometimes (tax season) on the personal goals, but this year I didn’t gain weight from Christmas to April 15th.
But then on my 3 week vacation, I strained my Achilles tendon and fractured my ankle (hairline fracture, so just some pain). Deciding to not let that hold me back, I got through my vacation with as much dancing as one would expect on a cruise. But when I returned, I decided to let it heal, since it was progressively worsening.
It’s true, I didn’t run on it much until I could start going down the stairs in the morning without sidestepping. But once I could manage the stairs without much pain, I began to push it more.
Runs down the street.
Runs around the block.
I always push it. It’s sometimes uncomfortable, but being uncomfortable is life’s way of encouraging one to improve and grow in their ability.
I push myself in every way I can.
While I didn’t gain any weight during tax season, I didn’t lose until sometime after my vacation. Not being able to run completely diminished my usual ability to shed my winter weight.
Luckily, a friend of mine helped push me towards a better, more sustainable diet and re-emphasized weight training.
Since mid-May, I’ve lost 20 lbs.
In two weeks of being able to run, I’ve lost 10 more.
I’m tone who always pushes himself.
