I am coming off of a high.
Why you say? Because Heather was here and for a moment I had all my girls here at one time. It was awesome and we do not do it often enough. We’ll have to fix that next year.
In the mean time I want to know what you are holding onto right now and why? Is it worth it to you or no?
The cool thing about having Heather come up, for me, is she brings with her a barrel of laughs. If you can just imagine, we all get along really well and we laugh alot when we’re together and I treasure that. While Heather is here she stays with me which means I have the honor of driving her all over the city as we go on our daily jaunts about town. This means she is subject to Whippy–my go-cart with a trunk. I LOOOOOOOOVE Whippy. She is my car and she is rightfully and frightfully named.
Whippy is quick. She’s fast, too, but more importantly she’s quick. She is faithful and she is true. She is also as comfortable as a too small shoe on a foot with bunions. I’m just puttin’ that out there for you. Get the visual.
Whippy is an 8 year old Mazda Protege with 200,000 miles on her. There is nothing fancy about Whippy. I have 3 kids and I pack them in the back like an extra outfit packed in a too full suitcase and the sad thing is…they are used to it! I think if I bought a newer car with more space, they’d bounce around the back like germs in a petri dish. Poor things. May be scarred for life. 
But I wouldn’t part with Whippy if you paid me $100 (although I’m not saying that if you paid me more I wouldn’t consider it…). She is everything I want and need in a car and I couldn’t ask for more. Well, I could ask for suspension so that Heather didn’t whip from side to side when we take turns but that’s neither here nor there. My point is: I don’t need more than what I have. What I find with people is that are always wanting and needing something new because what they currently have “isn’t working for them” when that simply isn’t the case. Most likely what you have has either lost its ‘new’ appeal or now you are into the hard part and you want to change. Stop looking for the latest diet, the newest exercise technique, a new goal, a new race, a new outfit (hmmm…wait…got a bit excited there. There is always room for a new outfit.), a new food and so on. Accept what you have because many times it is the right thing to have at that time and you are either being impatient with a situation or blind to the benefits.
What prompts us to go on a search many times is stress otherwise known as loss of control. Feeling helpless at work suddenly makes your weight loss goals more important. If you can’t keep the drama at bay at your workplace, maybe a new excerise plan will help. The problem with that is that it’s not the problem so you never come to a “solution” doing that. You just keep bouncing around further adding to your stress. Ask yourself:
Am I getting results?
Have I given this plan enough time?
Am I really following it or am I going through the motions because I am already convinced it’s not for me?
Do I really need to switch and if so, am I doing it for the right reasons?
The offseason is here for many of us and this is when we find ourselves all over the place. We have some time off and we immediately find ourselves refreshed and wanting to be back out there without finishing our commitment to our offseason plan. And it’s only been a month! This is normal and happens to so many folks that it should be a documented phenomenom. All I can say is stay focused. You will love what you accomplish over the long haul if you stay focused and engaged. Don’t give up on your offseason plan because you are bored, anxious or just wanting the newest trend. Slow and steady wins the race–like Whippy! She’s taken many a folk out on the Audobon. Let me tell ya!
If you do not have an offseason plan or really know that the one you have is not effective, hit us up at info@modelper4mance.com. We have a myriad of new plans coming out that are not listed, yet, and they can truly get you from point A to B. Or, I can pick you up in W
