Aug.14/08 Obstacles.....

When creating a plan, you always talk about obstacles and what to do about them. I was so excited about my plan and so eager to start putting it into play that no obstacle seemed too high. And then reality began to settle in and life got in the way. I was tired from a busy day at work, I wanted to spend time with my family, I wanted to walk my dog, I wanted to hang with my brother who is moving away and so on... This is where the rubber meets the road. I need, for me, to spend an hour each day on my training, regardless of what is going on in my life. How do I do that? Pure determination! I love how I feel after each session and I love how my head works when I have kept a promise to myself.
So I have some catching up to do but the lesson learned was valuable. I can talk a good game but have to live it for the lesson to sink in. Now I know and I can plan accordingly, like maybe half an hour twice a day might work better on a busy day. I think that if I remain aware and flexible that I can stick to this plan and succeed.
