Something happened after I took a fall during our warm up jog at training this past Thursday; besides the bump on my chin, scraps and bruising, something shifted inside me. I wore the "badge of honor" on my chin and the flame for health in my heart. You see, I felt a desire for my health flame up within me. A renewal that came in the moment my husband grabbed my hand to help me up. Nothing was broken and I wasn't even shaken; I didn't finish the lap however, I jumped right in after cleaning myself up and kept working out. Between exercises, placing ice on my chin - I felt committed. A sidewalk and I got into a rumble, I think I came out the winner.
After the workout was over and the days that followed, I have felt an urge greater than ever to keep moving strong. I consider my past 8 years of trying but not committing, not fully putting my heart into it, looking for quick fixes, gaining, losing, gaining, repeat..... Trying every diet, lifestyle, and exercise plan. However the one thing that was missing was my commitment.
My body is giving me so many signals that this journey is worth living and the rewards of my commitment are the physical changes I'm experiencing inside and out. I'm in awe and wonder at my new commitment to me, my health, my happiness and my life. I'm also blessed to be on this journey with my family, a great trainer and numerous friends.
