Today I accomplished my last fitness goal that I set 14 months ago at the beginning of my journey to heath. I ran a mile around City Park without stopping! (thanks to the support of my friend Nikki Sandschaper!) My body probably could have done the work several months ago but I had a huge mental block about being able to check it off my list.
Being able to surprise yourself or meet a goal that you set is so rewarding. Set small goals that you know you can do as well as big goals for the long time future. Success at small things leads to success at the big things.
This morning I surprised myself yet again on how strong I am and what I can do. So my challenge to you is: Do something today you didn’t know you could do. Surprise yourself in some way today to inspire healthier choices in the future. Maybe it’s a fitness goal. Maybe it’s go to your favorite restaurant but skip the appetizer. Do something today you didn’t know you could do! Show yourself how strong you can be!
You were awesome! No big deal, right? Let me know when you want to go running again, friend!
