Life is going to happen

Nov 12, 2011

When I went in for my 3 month post op and I had not lost as much as me and the doctor had expected, I commenced to tell her all about my 2 daughters graduating and a subsequent celebration cruise (where I did a lot of celebrating). She said something that still sticks with me.  She told me that life is going to continue to happen and that I will have to make choices that are in keeping with my goals.

I have learned that I cannot use "life happening" as an excuse to not be on my "A" game. I still have stuff to get done in spite of life happening all around me.  Since the cruise, I have had college to happen for 2 daughters, lost 2 people in my family, got engaged and have been in wedding  planning mode ever since. Life has really been active this year and sometimes I think it is getting away from me along with my best intentions.

I understand that I cannot control much of lifes curveballs and events, but I CAN control what I put in my mouth and how often I move my body.

I have got to do better.
